Paul Simon

Baby Driver

My daddy was a family bassman,
my mama was an engineer,
and I was born one dark gray morn'
A bass E E6 riff
with music comin' in my ears, in my ears.
Chorus:

A bass (played 4 times here)
They call me Baby Driver, and once upon a pair of wheels
hit the road and I'm gone
A7 G#7 G7 F#7 (<-play in quick succession)
what's my num-ber,
I wonder how your engine feels, ba ba ba ba ba,
E A7 G#7 G7 F#7 (<-play in quick succession)
Scoot down the road, what's my num-ber,
I wonder how your engine feels.
Play the quick succession this way for both occasions
Break: scat vocals: (basically same chord progression as 1st verse)

E A E E6 riff
Oooooooo doodadoooooouie
Verse 2: (same as verse 1)

My daddy was a prominent frogman,
my mama's in the Naval reserve,
when I was young, I carried a gun,
but I never got the chance to serve, I did not serve.
Chorus 2: same as chorus 1

Saxo Solo:

Play over the chords for the verse and chorus, with harmonies by Simon and Garfunkel
and motorcycle noises
Verse 3:

My daddy got a big promotion,
my mama got a raise in pay.
There's no one home, we're all alone;
Oh, come into my room and play, yes, we can play.
Chorus 3:

I'm not talkin' about your pigtails, I'm talkin' 'bout your sex-appeal
hit the road and I'm gone
What's my number,
I wonder how your engine feels, ba ba ba ba ba,
Scoot down the road, what's my number,
I wonder how your engine feels.
End:
Plays E E6 riff for a while, with dodododoooos.
Then shifts gears:
Motorcycle noises, and commentary...
"and the world champion is completing his run off the spectator side...."fade out.
