"Bathwater Baby" by, Max Stalling from the CD, "Comfort in the Curves" transcribed by, Tony Williams key of G# note: CD sounds like the guitar is capoed at the 1st fret and played with standard G chord forms. However, the chords transcribed here are actual.
Intro: (play twice) [C#][G#/C][Bm][D#/G][G#] 1st verse: [G#] I saw you go down with your heart aflame I ran for water but grabbed [G#7] kerosene Now, [C#] oh my goodness, despite my efforts What a [G#] blazing mess 2nd verse: [G#] I climbed in bed with my frozen feet You felt something and threw [G#7] back the sheets So [C#] there I'm lying, so there your crying, how [G#] unfortunate But [D#/G] aw, through it [C#] all the truth was I loved you [G#] best chours: [C#] Now you're holding something better And now I'm holding old love letters and [G#] new regrets The [C#] irony is just so glaring Cause now I've got this torch to carry and it [G#] burns you bet [D#/G] But aw, through it [C#] all the truth was I [G#] loved you best Instrumental: same chords as intro only with a little Dobro mixed in. Repete chours: 3rd verse: [C#] Now toothpast and tube, it's just [G#/C] one of the views I [Bm] have about me and you [G#] lately [#C] It's cliche I know but seems [G#/C] apropos, if the [Bm] shoe fits well I figure [G#] say it [C#] I know it's a fact that I [G#/C] over reacted, [Bm] sometimes my passions [G#] betray me [C#] The changes I made as I [G#/C] tried to come clean; [Bm] you were my bath water [G#] baby Another Instrumental: this time with Dobro as lead instrument. 4th verse: [C#] Now I did all the squeezing And now I've got this real bad feeling that I [G#] made this mess [C#] I did all the plug pulling And now I'm high and dry, no fooling, it's my [G#] fault I guess But [D#/G] aw, through it [C#] all, the truth was I [G#] loved you best [D#/G] Aw, through it [C#] all the truth was [D#/G] Aw, don't you [C#] know the truth was [D#/G] Aw, don't you [C#] know I loved you [G#] best [C#] You were my [Bm] bath water [G#] baby.
