Chords for BadFinger - Baby Blue - Guitar Lesson - How to Play

_ Hello, this is Solo Guitarist.
Today I'm doing a song by _ Peter William Hamm.
A great tune, bad finger song called Baby Blue. _
I'll do a little piece of it and then I'll come back to it. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ Dixie, when I let [E] you go _ _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ Thought [E] you'd _ realize [B] that I would know
I _ _ [Gb] _ would show
[Ab] _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ The special love I have for [E] you _ _ _
My [B] baby blue
_ What
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ can I do?
_ _ _ What can [Dbm] I say?
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ Except I [E] want you by [D] my side
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
And what I'm doing with that is, this is the tuning I've got for it.
This is my [Ab] A. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I tune to the record and instead of playing it in B, I'm playing it in C so I can play open chords with it.
But here's the A.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ Tune to that and you should be able to tune along with me and the [Db] record.
_ _ _ _ That's the D.
[Gb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But anyway, I start off, I'm playing the C chord here.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
And then I do the, I leave the B on the first fret and then I do the first fret E with it, with a _ _ _ down and release. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Then I go, _ _ _ _ _ which is, keep the C chord formation and do the third fret A, _ open [Db] D, _ second [Eb] fret D, _ [B] open G. _ _ _
_ _ That's the first part. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And then after you do that, you do [E] the third fret D, _ second [Eb] fret D, _ _ open [Db] D, _ _ _ back to the third fret [B] A.
_ _ So together it's, _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] and then after he finishes that, he goes, he plays a G [Gb] chord.
_ Starts his vocals, _ _ _ [E] goes to F.
_ _ Then it's F, walk down to A sharp.
And how I'm doing that is I go F, _
[B] _ _ [Db] second fret D, and then keep the B and E barred on the [Ebm] first.
And then go to an A [A] sharp, _ _ [E] to an F, _ _ [B] to a C.
_ And then again, he does the, _ _ _ _ _ _ and then another [Gb] verse. _ _ _ _ _ _
Starts off in G.
And so [B] after the, he does two verses.
_ He goes back to the _ _ C, _ and then he goes, _ then he goes to [Gb] G.
_ Then here he [Ab] goes, _ _ _ [Gb] _ it's the same thing in G.
And what I'm doing with that is you play G [Ebm] chord, then it's open G, second fret G, [Ab] _
and _ _ _ [Bb] then open B, _ to [Eb] third [Db] fret B, _ [B] first fret B, _ open [Bb] B, _ _ [Ab] second fret G, _ _ [Gb] open G.
_ So _ [Ab] it's, _ [B] _ _ [Ab] _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ so coming out of that C, [B] _ it's _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] G.
_ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ Then he [D] plays a D [Dbm] minor.
_ _ _ _ _ _ And then I play _ from the D string, _ open, [Db] second fret G, and then I bar the B and E on the first fret [Dbm] with that.
_ _ Hit from the D string down, _ _ [E] second chord.
Third chord is an F. _ _ _ _ _
_ And then I just pick, _ _ [Gb] and then I do [E] third fret E, and then fifth fret. _ _ _
_ _ _ And then [B] it starts over at the beginning.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Again. _ _ _ _
And then that cool [Eb] bridge comes in.
And what I'm doing on that is it's an E, _ _ _ and how I'm playing it is I bar the _ A and D on the second.
I hit the G on the fourth, and then the B on the fifth. _ _
_ [F] First chord.
_ _ And then I go [Ab] to A, and then with the A I'm barring the B and the, [Eb] the B on the fifth. _ _
You could also bar the E [N] if you wanted to do that too.
And hit from the A string down.
So the first chord [Eb] is E, _ _ A.
_ _ Now [N] this next chord here is cool.
I'm leaving the second on the D and the _ fifth on the B, barring the G there with it.
And then with those two, I play the fourth fret E, third fret A.
_ _ So it [Eb] goes from that A, _ just _ _ _ _ _ like that.
Just add those two to it.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ Then the next chord is a D [Db] minor, _ _ _ _ third fret [Abm] A with it. _
_ _ _ _ _ And then [A]
A sharp, _ _ [E] F, _ _ [B] to C.
_ _ And then [Abm] again, _ _ does [Eb] it again. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [E] A sharp, F.
[Eb] This time it goes to D [Dm] sharp, _ [A] to A sharp, _ [E] to F, _ [B] to C.
_ _ _ [D] D sharp, _
[A] _ A sharp, [E] _ F, _ [B] to C.
_ _ And at the very end it goes a C, _ [Dbm] D minor.
_ _ D [Ab] minor, walk down with the A on the third fret.
And then it goes [A] A sharp, _ [Dbm] _ _ [E] F, _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ to C.
_ [Ab]
But a really good tune, a lot of great chords, awesome
