by Carole King and Gerry Goffin

Key: F


F My tears are Dmfalling

’cos you've B♭taken her aCway.

And Fthough it really Faughurts me so,

There B♭something that I got to Csay:


F Take good Dmcare of my B♭ baCby,

F Please don't Dmever make her B♭blue. C

F Just tell her Faugthat you love her

B♭ Make sure you’re B♭mthinking of her

F In everyDmthing you say and B♭do. C


F Take good Dmcare of my B♭ baCby,

F Now don’t you Dmever make her B♭cry. C

F Just let your Fauglove surround her,

B♭ Paint rainbows B♭mall around her,

F Don't Dm?let her B♭see the Ccloudy Fsky. F7?



Gm7Once upon a Ctime

That Flittle girl was Dmmine.

Gm7 If I’d been Ctrue

I Amknow she’d Dmnever Gm7be with Cyou.


So F take good Dmcare of my B♭ baCby,

F Be just as Dmkind as you can B♭be. C

F And if you Faugshould discover

B♭ that you don't B♭mreally love her

F just send my Dmbaby back B♭home Cto Fme.

F# And if you F#augshould discover
