Acoustic live version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKk7Qnzv0jE
I took some of the previous versions and made it cleaner with all the verse/pre-chorus/chorus labeled. The
song has a lot of changes and this is easier to learn part by part. Enjoy!

[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Gmaj7 Em
Babydoll, do you believe they'll catch you when you fall
Am D C D
And when morning comes the sun is gonna shine
G Gmaj7 Em
Don't forget your minor keys your half lit cigarette
Am D
Cause when morning comes, god knows that you'll be mine
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C D G B7
So let me in
Em D C
I'm ready to beg and to sing for my sins
Em D C
Not leave it to chance and sweet coincidence
A D C D
Cause that's just crazy and you know it's true
[Chorus 1]
G Gmaj7 Em
Well they sa--id you was long gone
Bm C G C D
I just laughed and said alright, bring her home tonight
G Gmaj7 Em
And I heard you was graciously put on
Bm C G C D C D
I just laughed and said good night, guess it's alright
[Verse 2]
G Gmaj7 Em
Babydoll, the men who hang like flowers in your hall
Am D C D
Are asking when your love is gonna show
G Gmaj7
And who knows why the love you need
Em
Will always pass you by
Am D
Well I heard it's true your love is gonna grow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C D G B7
So let me know
Em D C
Cause I can stay or honey I can go
Em D C
Just to wherever you tell me so
A D C D
And find my place there and there I'll stay
[Chorus 2]
G Gmaj7 Em
Well they sa--id you was burned out
Bm C G C D
I just laughed and said come on, she's not burned she's just gone
G Gmaj7 Em
And it took me too long till I found out
Bm C G C D
Faces that you know the best, oh well I guess
[Chorus 3]
G Gmaj7 Em
And they laughed when you said you was leaving
Bm C G C D
Everybody knows you well, except for me can't you tell
G Gmaj7 Em
And you watched from the wings of the late show
Bm C G C D C D
Roses by your feet, of red, all for me you said
[Outro]
G Gmaj7 Em Am D C D
Babydoll... Babydoll... Babydoll... Babydoll... x2
[Fade out solo]
G Gmaj7 Em Am D C D
