• Song:

    Baby Can I Hold You Alt

  • Artist:

    Tracy Chapman

This is an alternate version of the song.  I think the original was a bit
bland, so I changed/added some chords.  It's transposed down two semitones, 
so if you want it in the same key as the song, use the transpose function at 
the top to transpose it up two semitones.
 
This is a measure /----/
The dashes are beats, so for example, if it says /F-G-/ you play F for the
first two beats and G for the last two.

Intro:
/C-Cm7-/F-Fm6-/

/C-CM7-/F-G-/Dm7---/F-G-/
Sorry, is all that you can say
Years gone by and

/C-CM7-/F-G-/Dm7---/F-G-/Gsus4-G-/
Still, words don't come easily
Like sorry, like sorry

/C-CM7-/F-G-/Dm7---/F-G-/
Forgive me, is all that you can say
Years gone by and

/C-CM7-/F-G-/Dm7---/F-G-/Gsus4-G-/
Still, words don't come easily
Like forgive me, forgive me
But you can say

/C-(C/E)-/F-Fm-/C-(C/E)-/F-Fm-/Am-Em7-/F-Fm6-/
Baby, baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh at the right time, you'd be mine

/C-(C/E)-/F-Fm6-/

/C-CM7-/F-G-/Dm7---/F-G-/
I love you, is all that you can say
Years gone by and

/C-CM7-/F-G-/Dm7---/F-G-/Gsus4-G-/
Still, words don't come easily
Like I love you, I love you , no
But you can say

/C-(C/E)-/F-Fm-/C-(C/E)-/F-Fm-/Am-Em7-/F-Fm6-/
Baby, baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh at the right time, you'd be mine

/C-(C/E)-/F-Fm-/C-(C/E)-/F-Fm-/Am-Em7-/F-Fm6-/
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh at the right time, you'd be mine

/C-(C/E)-/F-Fm6-/
You'd be mine

/C-(C/E)-/F-Fm6-/
You'd be mine

I love the Fm6 chord, it really adds a lot to the song.
