EVERYBODY’S TRYIN’ TO BE MY BABY
By Carl Perkins
Key:E

4     -4   6    6    6  5*   6  5*  6
Well they took some hon-ey from a tree
6       -5 6   -5  -4     -5  -4 3
Dressed it up and they called it me
-5  -4  -3 -4   -3 -3  2  -4 -3  3 2
Ev-‘ry-bod-y's try-in’ to be my ba-by
-4  -4  -3 -4   3*  2  2  -4 -3 3* 2
Ev-‘ry-bod-y's try-in’ to be my ba-by
-5  -4 -5  -5* -4  -4  -4  6 -4  3 2    2
Ev-‘ry-bod-y's try-in’ to be my ba-by, now
            6  5*-4 6  6   7 6  -45*-5*6   
(last time) be my   ba-by, now

Well half past nine, half past four
fifty women knocking on my door

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

Went out last night, I didn't stay late
'fore I got home I had nineteen dates

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

Went out last night, I didn't stay late
'fore I got home I had nineteen dates

Well they took some honey from a tree
Dressed it up and they called it me

Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, 
Now Hey you've got to hide your love away

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
