[Verse]
F            Dm
My tears are fallin'
              Bb         C7
'Cause you've taken her away
    F                Faug
And though it really hurts me so
         Bb                      C7
There's something that I gotta say:
 
F          Dm         Bb  C7
 Take good care of my   baby
F             Dm            Bb   C7
 Please don't ever make her blue
F              Faug
 Just tell her that you love her
Bb                 Bm
 Make sure you're thinking of her

F        Dm                Bb C7
 In everything you say and do
 
[Verse 2]
Take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Make a rainbow all around her
F              Bb    C7     F
 Don't let her see a cloudy sky
 
Bb          C          F               Dm
Once upon a time, that little girl was mine
Bb          C       F                        C7
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you, so...
 
[Verse 3]
Take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
F             Dm        Bb   C7 F / / / Dm / / /
 Just send my baby back home to me
