Talk to Me Baby — Elmore James
Chords and lyrics for Talk to Me Baby by Elmore James (key of A).
Verse 1
This Song Has a Very Specific Blues Shuffle. The Shuffle Starts On The
Traditional A Blues Shuffle.
However Instead Of Switching From The 2nd To The 4th On The D String,
You Hit The Second On The D String And Switch Between Hitting The 3rd A
String/3rd Of The A
Then Hammering/pull Off 3rd Of The E String. There's Also a Few Fun Opening
Picks. Watch a Tutorial.
This Is a Traditional 1,4,5 Progression. But When You Switch To The 4 You
Play And Open C7 Shape,
Root Note On The 5th Of The A String. Then For The 5th Cord Play Open E7.

[A]Well I've cried so much for you
[A]Baby, there's nothing new
[D7]Well, I've cried so much for you
[A]Baby that's nothing new
[E7]Now I wish I had one dollar
[D7]For all the times I've cried for [A]you
[A]Almost every night, I Cry myself to sleep
[A]Everybody else is happy, But I'll just weep, weep, weep
And these [D7]tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me [A]be?
Now I [E7]wish just once
[D7]You'd cry for me[A]
[A]Why should I remember? How can I forget?
[A]I wake up every morning And my pillow is
soaking wet
From these[D7] tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?[A]
Now [E7]I wish just once
[D7]You'd cry for me[A]
[A]Now Where Were You Last Night?
[A]I Cried All Night Long, The Only You Do Me Baby
Is Wrong, Wrong, Wrong
[D7]These Tears Tears Tears
Why Won't The Let Me Be[A]
I [E7]Wish Just Once,
[D7]THAT YOU'D Cry For Me[A]
