Angie Baby - Helen Reddy   ('Free And Easy' 1974)
 
[Intro]
 
| Am7    | Am7    |
 
 
[Verse]
 
    Am7
You live your life in the songs you hear 
on the rock & roll radio
    Am7
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends, 
that's a really nice place to go,
Dm7                  G7
  Folks hoping you'd turn out cool,  
Cmaj7                     Fmaj7
  but they had to take you out of school
         E7sus4              E7          Am7
You're a little touched, you know, Angie baby
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am7
Lovers appear in your room each night 
and they whirl you across the floor,
         Am7
But they always seem to fade away 
when your Daddy taps on your door,
Dm7                 G7
  "Angie, girl, are you alright? 
Cmaj7         Fmaj7
Tell the radio goodnight"
E7sus4         E7          Am7
All alone once more, Angie baby
 
{ CHORUS }
 
Dm7  G7    Cmaj7           Dm7   G7    Cmaj7
  An - gie baby,   you're a spe - cial  lady,
Fmaj7      G/F     Fmaj7
Living in a world of make  believe,
      Am7
Well, maybe
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am7                        Am7
Stopping at her house is a neighbour boy 
with evil on his mind,
       Am7
'Cause he's been peeking in Angie's room 
at night through her window blind,
Dm7                      G7
  "I see your folks have gone away. 
Cmaj7               Fmaj7
Would you dance with me today?
     E7sus4                      E7
I'll show you how to have a good time, 
      Am7
Angie baby  (A-a-a-ngie baby,  A-a-a-ngie baby)
 
Am7
 
[Bridge]
 
        Am7   N.C.
When he walks in her room, he feels confused, 
like he walked into a play
        Am7     N.C
And the music's so loud, it spins him around 
                                Am7  Bm7
til his soul has lost its way
C                                   C#
   And as she turns the volume down,
D                                      E
  He's getting smaller with the sound,
F                                    F#
  It seems to pull him off the ground,
G                              A
  Toward the radio he's bound, never to be found......
 
| Am7    | Am7    |
 

 
[Verse 4]
 
    Am7
The headlines read that a boy disappeared, 
and everyone thinks he died,
        Am7               Am7
'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover 
who keeps her satisfied
Dm7               G7         Cmaj7          Fmaj7
  It's so nice to be insane, no one asks you to explain
E7sus4        E7          Am7
Radio by your side, Angie baby
 
{ CHORUS }
 
Dm7  G7    Cmaj7           Dm7   G7    Cmaj7
  An - gie baby,   you're a spe - cial  lady,
Fmaj7      G/F     Fmaj7
Living in a world of make  believe...................
      Am7
Well, maybe
      Am7
Well, maybe (A-a-a-ngie baby,   A-a-a-ngie baby)
      Am7
Well, maybe (A-a-a-ngie baby,   A-a-a-ngie baby)
      Am7
            (A-a-a-ngie baby,   A-a-a-ngie baby)     (fade)

Song: Angie baby
Artist: Helen Reddy
Composer: Alan O'Day
Album: Free and easy
 
Tabbed by: DJ   24th Nov 2012
 
CAPO: 3rd fret
(Will then sound in the recorded key of Gm)
 
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the
information at the bottom of the tab.
 
Em     = 022000     B7sus4 = x22202 or x24252
Emadd9 = 022002     B7     = x21202 or x24242
Em7    = 022030     F#m   = 244222
Am7    = x02010     G     = 355433
D7sus2 = xx0210     G#    = 466544
D7     = xx0212     C     = x32010
Dm7    = xx0211     D/C   = x30232
Gmaj7  = 320002     Esus4 = 022200
Cmaj7  = x35453     A     = x02220
                    D     = xx0232
                    E     = 022100
 
 ^  = Emphasise the beats   N.C. = No Chords
(x) = Mute all strings and scrub a rhythm
 
Ascending progression into the Choruses could
be simplified as 5th's...
D5 = 022xxx  E5 = 133xxx  F5 = 355xxx  F#5 = 466xxx
or even just as single bass notes on the 6th string
 
Please take a second to scroll down to the bottom of
the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks
