Artist/Band: Stalling Max Tabs
Song: Bathwater Baby Tab
"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.
There you have it, friends.
