Wonderful Baby - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
In his own version, this song appeared first on Don McLean's 1974 album "Homeless Brother", then a bit modified on his 1976 live album "Solo". It's dedicated to and inspired by Fred Astaire: at the time of writing, Don listened a lot to his music and similar. Astaire recorded it himself, in UK 1975, for the album "Attitude Dancing". And here it is, with most basic chords. Not common harmonies; the heck I struggled to figure it out, because Don wrote it for another key ... and I still wonder what he had been eating that night he wrote it.E E6 Gaug wonderful baby living on love E E6 G#m C#7 the sandman says maybe he'll take you above A A7 C7 up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows E Emaj7 C B7 where babies float by just counting their toes A A7 C7 wonderful baby I'll watch while you grow E Emaj7 C#7 if I knew the future you'd be first to know Amaj7 C7 B7 but I don't know nothing of what life's about E Emaj7 C B7 just as long as you live you'll never find it out ... E6 oh oohh ...
This song came to me through my good buddy Roy Bakkeng (1953-2011). We played and worked together in the good old days. I owe him my preference for Don McLean, the McGarrigles and Al Stewart. And my interest for photography as well. Not to forget an Ovation Balladeer ...
