Artist: Barry Manilow (with K.T Oslin)
Song: Baby It?s Cold Outside
Tempo: 82 bpm, slow Jazz (swung)
Tabbed by: Sam Osborn

So I've tried to write the chords out easily. To work out the parts of
the duet listen to the song. Play with a double bass preferably.

Gi: Well, honey buns, it?s been fun, but I gotta run
Gu: Oh sweet lips, stay a while longer won?t you

 (Talk) 
well I must say this couch is very comfortable 
it's not a couch puddin' pop 
it's a love seat 
oh how you talk oh Barry 

(Sing) 
I simply must go 
but baby it's cold outside 
the answer is no 
but baby it's cold outside 
the welcome has been 
how lucky that you dropped in 
so nice and warm 
look out the window at that storm 
my sister will be suspicious 
gosh your lips look good 
my brother will be there at the door 
like waves upon a tropical storm 
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious 
gosh your lips are delicious 
well maybe just a cigarrette more 
never said your blues will be for 

I've got to get home 
but baby you'll freeze out there 
say darling can you lend me your comb 
it's up to your knees out there 
you really been grand 
I thrill when you touch my hand 
but don't you see 
how can you do this thing to me 
there's bound to be talk tomorrow 
think of my life long sorrow 
at least there will be plenty implied
if you caught pneumonia and died 
I really can't stay 
get over that hold out
              C7            Ebm7            Bb9          D7#9      Ebmaj9          E7#5(B9)   
ah but it's cold           out               side

Repeat over Talk : ( Bb6   G+7  C9   F7#5 (B9) )

(Talk) 
Well I don't know 
I don't got to go home 
Hey look it's starting to snow 
oh you arranged that didn't you? 
see now you gotta stay 
well, I guess I won't be able to find a cab 
no cabs 
and the buses they never run 
they'll never run in snow like this let me take your coat 
well tomorrow is Sunday isn't it? 
and I don't have to go to work 
see isn't that better 
and who knows how long it will keep snowing 
it can snow for a long time, Kate 
what are you doing? well now yeah
