Baby's Coming Back
Chords by: Justin Makeig (makeig@nwu.edu)
C
I knew that when I saw her
that my life would move over from the fast lane
Gone would be the days of all my drinkin' and my carryin' on
But when I settled down
The party king uncrowned
this stubborn memory hadn't faded
too many dumb mistakes
and all the grief it makes
left nothin' else to be debated
D7 F C F
And if you say that you understand then your lyin'
D7 F maj7sus2 C maj - C sus4 - C maj
but if you figure that I'm all right now I can't deny it
Dm G7
Baby's comin' back, Baby's comin' back
Am
so I'm on my best behavior
Dm G A min
I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today
D min/A G maj (verse riff)
I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
(same as first verse)
If I had a dollar for every single time I fought her I'd buy a handgun
But that couldn't shoot away the bullseye that she made on my heart
(same as first bridge)
And if I sound like a beaten man well I guess so
but on her way is the sweetest prize and I can't let go
(same as first chorus)
Baby's comin' back
Baby's comin' back
so I'm on my best behavior
I can't take it anymore
I just woke up on the floor today c-g-a-e-c-b (descending)
I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
A min G maj D maj
What I told her on the telephone was that I'd been so bad
A min D maj G maj
I wouldn't blame her if she mowed down these wild oats I'd sown
F maj Bb7
But when she said she give me one more chance
G maj G maj G maj
I said knock three times when you arive

This transcription is from the acoustic version that Jellyfish plays.
It will also work on the album version. Sometimes they play it with a
capo on the first fret in which case you'd just move all the chords up
a fret. Also, the chord names on the bridge are an approximation, but the
actual chords are the way that Jellyfish plays them.
The main ryhthm toggles back and forth between the C maj and
C sus4 chords using your pinkie.
C maj C sus4

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JELLYFISH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
