Tell Me Baby
By Blue Rodeo
Transcribed by Ryan Robson (thunderman99@hotmail.com)


The guitars are pretty minimal in this one.  The song relies mostly on piano, bass,
and pedal steel.  I have decided to write it out for guitar as one would play it anyways.
The * is a guitar lick that I have written out at the bottom.  Also, there is actual guitar
during the bridge.

Capo 2

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

C-Em, F (two times)

Verse 1:
C            Em       F
I don't know where to begin
C        Em        F
Is there nothing I can do
C  Em                   F
To change the state I'm in
             F              G*               C-Em F
Yeah tell me baby... how do I... get back to you

            C-Em, F
Get back to you
Verse 2:
C     Em               F
And I know I've made a mess of it
C     Em        F
Every promise betrayed
C   Em       F
You say that I'll never change
           F*             G*               C-Em F
So tell me baby... how do I... get back to you
            C-Em, F
Get back to you

Bridge:
Am                          D
Is it fair to take a man so deep into your heart
G    F           Em   E
Then leave him behind
Am                         D
'Cause I couldn't change a single word
           G          Fmaj7          Em   G
I'm just a fool who believes his own lies

Solo:
C-Em, F (3 times), F*, G*

Verse 3:
C        Em             F
Is there something that I'm missing
C     Em            F
Is it better left unsaid
C                Em            F
How do we get it back to the beginning
             F*             G*                Am Em
Yeah tell me baby... how do I... get back to you
             F              G*               C-Em F
Yeah tell me baby... how do I... get back to you
            C-Em F
Get back to you

C-Em, F (2 times)
        C-Em F
Tell me baby
             C-Em F
Yeah tell me baby
             C-Em F
Yeah tell me baby
        C-Em F
Tell me baby
             C-Em F
Yeah tell me baby

C-Em, F

             C-Em F
Yeah tell me baby

C-Em, F, end on C


F* Since there is not really any guitar, you can play F, or play the following lick as one
of the guitars actually does in the song:

-1---1-
