[Verse]
Eb                         Ab
  I've searched the holy books
Eb                      Ab                           Eb        Ab       Eb       Ab
  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  Eb
  Searched through the books on human behaviour
Bb                            Ab
  I travelled the whole world around
Bb         Ab            Gm     Fm
    For an answer that refused     to be found
  Fm                              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]
Eb                       Ab
  I loved her then and I guess I love her still
Eb               Ab                        Eb
    Her's 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  Eb
  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
  Fm                              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]
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  Eb
    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
  Fm                              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
