Baby Step Back -- Gordon Lightfoot

capo 2
E7 A G E7 
A7 A G E7

Gotta blues shuffle to it

VERSE:
=====
E7
Now it looks to me like the same old place,
                                  
In the sky it looks like rain.  

A7
The same old town with the same old streets,
      G         A   E7
My address has not changed.
 
         A7
You can find me there with the door shut tight
         G        A     E7
And the one wish that remains


CHORUS:
======
A7               
Baby step back, baby step back
                            E7
Either step up or step back.


VERSE:
=====
E7
No you know I don't write no bad checks
                
I have no wish to repent

A7
I've seen a few, but whatever I do
                            E7
I don't cause no accidents

A7
Whiskey and wine help me pass the time
          G     A   E7
I don't leave no evidence


CHORUS
======
A7               
Baby step back, baby step back
                           E7
Either step up or step back.
A7               
Baby step back, baby step back
        G        A   E7
Either step up or step back.


SOLO

VERSE:
=====
E7
Still I don't kneel down, I was born to fight
                
So you'd best leave me alone
A7                
Maybe I'll get much more than I need
         G        A      E7                           
Or much less than I should own
A7
Last of all let me say it again
        G       A    E7
Either step up or step on


CHORUS
======
A7               
Baby step back, baby step back
                             E7
Either step up or step back.
A7               
Baby step back, baby step back
        G      A     E7
Either step up or step back.

CHORUS
======
A7               
Baby step back, baby step back
                        E7
Either step up or step back.
A7               
Baby walk back, baby walk back
         G      A    E7
Either walk-on or step back
A7               
Baby step back, baby step back
                          E7
Either step up or step back.
A7               
Baby step back, baby step back
         G      A    E7
Either step up or step back.
A7               
Baby step back, baby step back
                        E7
Either step up or step back.
