Baby You Look Good To Me Tonight
Words & Music by Bill Danoff
Sung by John Denver
from Spirit (1976)
G Am
I've been out on this highway now five days in a row
G Am
My words all run together and my feet are movin' slow
D C G
I've got to stop and eat while it's still light
D C G
There's a local angel sittin' on my right
C C/B C/A C/G D
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Am D7 G
Baby, you look good to me tonight
Well I'm ordinarily very shy
A7
And I'd be polite if I had the time
D C G
Baby, you look good to me tonight
Tomorrow I'll be good and gone
A7
Please don't make me wait that long
D C G
Baby, you look good to me tonight
G Am
"I get off at eleven," she said and walked away
G Am
She poured a cup of coffee and she brought it on a tray
D C G
She said, "It would be nice if you could stay,
D C G
You're the best idea I've had all day,
C C/B C/A C/G D
Usually I put up a fight
Am D7 G
But baby, you look good to me tonight"
Well I'm ordinarily very shy
A7
But I grinned at her as I ate my pie
D C G
Said, baby, you look good to me tonight
I thought I must be in a dream
A7
When she asked me if I wanted cream
D C G
Baby, you look good to me tonight
Am D Bm Em
All in all you know it's not a bad life on the road
Am D G
If you've got wheels to roll and lucky stars above
Am D Bm Em
Your destiny's your own, you go as far as you can go
Am
And if there's time to sleep
D D7sus4
There's time to make love
G Am
I came I saw I conquered and I rode off in the sun
G Am
But I know the look she left me with keeps telling me she won
D C G
Her face is the only thing I see
D C G
Whispering these words of prophecy:
C C/B C/A C/G D
"Well, I may come easy but I don't come free
Am D7 G
You're never gonna see the last of me"
Baby, you look good to me
A7
I was born to love you now can't you see
D C G
Baby, you look good to me tonight
Well, I'm ordinarily very shy
A7
But I take the time to satisfy
D C G
Baby, you look good to me tonight
D C G
Baby, you look good to me tonight (
