[Intro] Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab [Verse 1]
Eb                        Ab
   I've searched the holy books

Eb                    Ab                               Eb      Ab    Eb    Ab
   I tried to unravel the mystery of Jesus Christ, the saviour

Eb                              Ab
   I've read the poets and the analysts

Eb                      Ab                Eb      Ab    Eb    Ab
   Searched through the books on human behaviour

Bb                        Ab
   I travelled this world around

Bb        Ab            Gm    Fm
   For an answer that refused    to be found

                                  Bb
I don't know why and I don't know how

          Ab   Bb     Eb       Ab    Eb    Ab
But she's no - body's baby now
[Verse 2]
Eb                        Ab
   I loved her then and I guess I love her still

Eb             Ab                        Eb
   Hers is the face I see when a certain mood moves in

Ab       Eb                        Ab
    She lives in my blood and skin

Eb                Ab                Eb
   Her wild feral stare, her dark hair

           Ab              Eb
Her winter lips as cold as stone

Ab                 Eb    Ab
   Yeah, I was her man

Bb                                Ab
   But there are some things love won't allow

Bb            Ab         Gm            Fm
   I held her hand but I don't hold it now

                                  Bb
I don't know why and I don't know how

          Ab   Bb     Eb       Ab    Eb    Ab
But she's no - body's baby now
[Verse 3]
Eb                  Ab
   This is her dress   that I loved best

Eb                        Ab                       Eb    Ab    Eb    Ab
   With the blue quilted violets across the breast

Eb                       Ab
   And these are my many letters

Eb          Ab                    Eb
    Torn to pieces by her long-fingered hand

Ab            Eb                Ab
    I was her cruel-hearted man

Bb                                  Ab
   And though I've tried to lay her ghost down

Bb                    Ab          Gm   Fm
   Well, she's moving through me, even now

                                  Bb
I don't know why and I don't know how

          Ab   Bb     Eb       Ab    Eb
But she's no - body's baby now
[Outro]
Ab                Eb       Ab    Eb
   She's nobody's baby now

Ab          Eb       Ab    Eb
   Nobody's baby now

Ab                Eb       Ab    Eb    Ab    Eb
   She's nobody's baby now
