John Prine .....The Oldest Baby In The World

Intro:(C)
(C)She's got the mind of a child
And a b(F)ody peaking over the h(C)ill
Well, she would if she could
And she s(D7)hould but nobody w(G)ill (G7)
With her n(F)ails painted red
And her hair so unnaturally cu(C)rled (C/B) (Am)
Well I th(F)ink that she may be
The o(G)ldest baby in the wo(C)rld

(C)She's tasted the night life
But it's l(F)eft her with nothing but hu(C)nger
And all the available men
Seem to t(D7)hink that they want something you(G)nger (G7)
But y(F)outh is a costume
And the beauty within lies unf(C)urled (C/B) (Am)
And I th(F)ink that she may be
The ol(G)dest baby in the w(C)orld (C7)

Fast h(F)orses win races
And royal flushes beat aces
And everyone's playing to k(C)eep
So let's t(D7)urn out the lights

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



And rock that old baby to sl(G)eep (C) (G)

She loves the so(C)und of the rain
But you k(F)now she's still afraid of the th(C)under
(C)She keeps a head full of hope
And a he(D7)art that's so full of wo(G)nder (G7)
She may l(F)ook like a woman
But she's still some daddy's little g(C)irl (C/B) (Am)
And I th(F)ink that she may be
The ol(G)dest baby in the wo(C)rld (C/B) (Am)
Yes, I t(F)hink that she may be
The ol(G)dest baby in the wo(C)rld (F) (C) (G) (C)
