Baby Boy

Dm7          Gm7    A7
Little hands, little feet
Dm7        Gm7   A7
Tiny heart, tiny beat
Dm7           Dm7/C      Fmaj7  BbMaj7   Gm7         Asus   A7
Oh, thinkin' 'bout the time we spent falling in love together
Dm7     Gm7        A7    Dm7     Gm7        A7
I don't wanna leave you, I don't wanna deceive you
Dm7   Dm7/C     FMaj7        BbMaj7
But oh, when mama cries from daddy's lies
Gm7 Gm7/A  Gm7/Bb  Gm7/B C   FMaj7     BbMaj7
Oh my, please don't take him away, mama
               FMaj7  BbMaj7
Don't take him away, oh

[Chorus]
Gm7                Asus A7 N.C.
'Cause I've had my time, oh!
Dm7          Gm7   A7
Don't take my baby boy
Dm7          Gm7   A7
Don't take my pride and joy
Dm7     Dm7/C  FMaj7 BbMaj7 Gm7 Asus        A7
I hope I stay close, I hope I stay close

[Verse 2]
Dm7          Gm7    A7
All the pain, all the tears
Dm7        Gm7   A7
Many nights, many years
Dm7           Dm7/C      Fmaj7
This love for me is fading
BbMaj7          Gm7       Asus         A7
You waited, but I never came home to you
Dm7     Gm7        A7
I've never lied about us
Dm7            Gm7           A7
We were never supposed to be together
Dm7   Dm7/C              FMaj7             BbMaj7
When you see me with some other one and they know your son
Gm7 Gm7/A  Gm7/Bb  Gm7/B C   FMaj7     BbMaj7
Oh, please don't take him away
                               FMaj7  BbMaj7
You said you're wrong but you knew

[Chorus]
Gm7                Asus A7 N.C.
'Cause I've had my time, oh!
Dm7          Gm7   A7
Don't take my baby boy
Dm7          Gm7   A7
Don't take my pride and joy
Dm7     Dm7/C  FMaj7 BbMaj7 Gm7 Asus        A7
I hope I stay close, I hope I stay close

[Outro]
Dm7
There was a time before you
Dm7
And there will be a time after you
Dm7
Though these bodies are not our own
Dm7
Walk tall little one, walk tall
Asus              A7
Let me hold you, let me hold you
