Baby Doll

	  		Tabbed By: Jason Marbach (please email all questions to [email protected] 
 
**Note: don't be fooled during the chorus at the line "close your eyes", that  
minor you hear is the bass playing a minor note to start the progression, and  
in other places in the  song, the bass will alternately play an "A" and a "D"  
note in transition from Dsus back to G (esp. in the verses), but the chords  
stay as I wrote it here...it's excellent musicianship (by Pat and his boys on  
the album), but the rhythm chords are as listed. 
 
You'll almost definitely have to listen to the song to understand the tab...it's  
easy, but complex...if that makes any sense...

Verse 1: 
G                    G   -  Dsus 
She stops and checks her reflection 
         Dsus    -     G        G-Dsus  Dsus-G 
In a car parked on the corner 
                     G-Dsus         
She said "It's hell on me,  
                  Dsus - G 
This working down at the diner." 
 
Verse 2: 
Some people say, man, she was hot 
Back when she was younger 
Yeah, well she was a dancer 
When she lived in L.A. 
 
Chorus 1: 
Am            D          G 
  She was someone's baby doll 
         Cadd9    Cadd9/B   A/G 
A beauty queen to someone long ago,  
         D 
From the midnight show, and if you

Close your eyes, you hear the music playing 
        G      Dsus     Dsus        D 
You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight, and 
G          Dsus        Dsus                D 
  When she sleeps, she dreams she's back in Hollywood 
Am 
Back when all the world was young,

And she was someone's baby doll

Verse 3: 
She stops and checks her reflection  
In the bathroom on her lunch break 
She says I still look good for 
Someone half of my real age 
 
Verse 4: 
Some people say "Man, I bet she 
Still makes love like an earthquake." 
Yeah, but man, she ain't easy 
She ain't lettin' you in, my friend, my friend

Am             D             G 
  It's time to wake up, Baby Doll 
         Cadd9    Cadd9/B   Dsus 
Put your best dress and your high heels on 
         D 
And dream you're gone, and when you 
G          Dsus      Dsus        D

  When she sleeps, she dreams she's back in Hollywood

Verse 5: 
She stops and calls an old friend 
From the payphone at the subway 
She says "I feel like I'm just sitting here 
Wasting my days away." 
 
Chorus 3: 
Am           D             G 
It's time to move on, Baby Doll 
         Cadd9      Cadd9/B  Dsus 
And walk away just like you did before 
         D 
When you wanted more, and when you 
G          Dsus      Dsus        D

  When she sleeps, she dreams she's back in Hollywood 
Am 
When she was a younger girl 
  D 
A pretty heart in a tainted world 
Am 
Not sure who you wanna be 
     D 
Your Daddy's little drama queen 
  Am 
I hope that when you find yourself, 
       D 
You're more than just a baby doll
