D     G         A             D
She's my baby, once in a while she's a lady,
G                  A              D
But the lady don't smile too much lately.
        G      A       D      G  A
Now the lady's got the blues.

        D             G          A             
Lord, I need her when she's not around,
         D           G               A              
But I'll see her the next time she's down,
        D          G    A         D      G  A   
And the baby in my lady get's her blues.

G                   E7     A       A7 
When the baby in my lady remembers someone
      Bm              D 
Who's waiting just to hold her, 
       G     /F#     Em           A    A4 A A9 
Not to scold her for what she has done.

I need her when she's not around,
But I'll see her the next time she's down
When the baby in my lady gets the blues.

Yes if she needs me, how could I mind
When she leaves me, Lord, it's so fine
When she needs me, when my lady's got the blues.
