              B7  E                          E7/5+    
You must have been a beautiful baby, 
 
    A9 
You must have been a beautiful child; 
 
     Am7            D7        Am7            D7 
When you were only startin' to go to kindergarten, 
 
      G                Gdim    Am7  D7      
I'll bet you drove the little boys wild. 
 
B7   E                           E7/5+ 
And when it came to winning blue ribbons, 
 
     A9 
You must have shown the other kids how. 
 
      G               G/F#          Em             B+ 
I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize - 
 
      G               B7      E7 
I'll bet you made the cutest bow! 
 
          G                B7      E+5   E 
Oh, you must have been a beautiful ba - by, 
 
 
(First Time:) 
 
        D9    Am7     D7  G         G       D7       Fdim 
'Cause Baby, look at you now!   Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah 
 
 
(First Time:) 
 
        D9    Am7     D7  G 
'Cause Baby, look at you now!
