verse 1 

C#m7               G#aug 
Granma came to see 
          C#m7            G#aug 
Something she could not believe 
C#m7                  G#aug 
How could her girl be 
C#m7 G#aug 
So naive

Tar   baby, tar baby told 
N.C. 
The secret she conceived 

verse 2 

     C#m7                  G#aug 
That big old smile of yours 
               C#m7        G#aug 
Could turn the wind into a song 
C#m7                    G#aug 
How could I have doubted 
                C#m7          G#aug 
Honey it's with me that you belong

I love you so 

Bridge 

Emaj7                  Amaj7 
Like a brand new blade 
        Emaj7       Amaj7 
You cut into my life 
            Emaj7      Amaj7 
Cut through two decades 
       Emaj7          Amaj7 
Like a hot coal on ice 


[Refrão]
Bsus4 B        Bsus4 B 
Tar   baby, my tar   baby

It ma----ybe was meant to be 

verse 3 

C#m7              G#aug 
When I look at you 
  C#m7             G#aug 
I can't believe my eyes 
              C#m7 
And with your magic 
  G#aug                          C#m7             G#aug 
I think you just might charm the birds out of the sky

Tar   baby, tar   baby, tar   baby 
N.C. 
Came good out of grief 

Bridge 

  Emaj7           Amaj7 
A golden thread inside of the web 
           Emaj7     Amaj7 
That I got caught in 
           Emaj7                Amaj7 
Oh, it's a lover's revenge, but out of the pain 
              Emaj7  Amaj7        
Come the best things

You cut into my life     (I love you)  
        Emaj7       Amaj7 
You cut into my life 

Emaj7          Amaj7 
La la la la la ooh

It's with me you belong
