Ella Fitzgerald – Baby Its Cold Outside (Guitar)

  C            Cmaj7               C       Cmaj7
I really can't stay (But baby it's cold outside)

     Dm          G7                Dm      G7
I've got to go away (But baby it's cold outside)

    C          Cmaj7                   C
The evening has been (Been hoping that you'd drop in)

        Gm7                                 C7
So very nice (I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)

   F
My mother will start to worry (Beautiful what's your hurry?)

    Fm
And father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar)

   C
So really I'd better scurry (Beautiful please don't hurry)

    Dm                        G
But maybe just a half a drink more (Put some records on while I pour)

    C               Cmaj7            C       Cmaj7
The neighbors might think (Baby it's bad out there)

     Dm             G7                    Dm      G7
Say, what's in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there)

  C           Cmaj7                   C
I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now)

             Gm7                   C7
To break the spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)

  F
I ought to say, "No, no, no sir" (Mind if I move in closer)

   Fm                         G7
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?)

  C            Bb7              A7
I really can't stay (Baby don't hold out)

             D7   G7 C
Ah, but it's cold outside

  C          Cmaj7                C       Cmaj7
I simply must go (But, baby, it's cold outside)

    Dm        G7                  Dm      G7
The answer is no (But, baby, it's cold outside

      C          Cmaj7                C
Your welcome has been (How lucky that you dropped in

   C         Gm7                 C7
So nice and warm (Look out the window at the storm

 F
My sister will be suspicious (Gosh, your lips look delicious)

   Fm
My brother will be there at the door (Waves upon the tropical shore)

   C
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Gosh, your lips are delicious)

    Dm                     G
But maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before)

     C        Cmaj7                   C          Cmaj7
I've gotta get home (But, baby, you'd freeze out there)

     Dm        G7                    Dm        G7
Say, lend me a coat (It's up to your knees out there)

       C           Cmaj7                    C
You've really been grand (I thrill when you touch my hand)

 C            Gm7               C7
But don't you see? (How can you do this thing to me?

 F
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my lifelong sorrow)

   Fm                             G7
At least there will be plenty implied (If you got pneumonia and died)

  C            Bb7                  A7
I really can't stay (Get over that old doubt)

             D7    G7 C
Ah, but it's cold outside

C
(Where could you be going when the wind is blowing and it's cold outside?)

           D7   G7      C
Baby, it's cold cold outside
