  			                 F 
 Baby baby why you cryin' 

         G              Am     G   F 
 Feeling sorry what she said 

                             Am 
 Put down the rag, I told her then 

             G            Am 
 Don't wanna hear you cry again 

      G           F 
 Dear heart, dear heart 

               G             Am 
 Tell me, tell me what's the reason 

      G           F 
 Dear heart, dear heart 

               G             Am 
 Tell me, tell me what's the reason  



                              F 
 You know she went to see the doctor 

              G      Am        G   F 
 And then she read a magazine 

                              Am 
 Forget that book, I told her then 

             G                   Am 
 Don't wanna hear about the book again 

      G           F     
 Dear heart, dear heart 


 Tell me, tell me what's the reason 

      G           F 
 Dear heart, dear heart 

               G             Am 
 Tell me, tell me what's the reason  






C                              G 
 There was a picture on the story 

C                            G 
 That showed a young sophisticator 

D                              A 
 Who falls in love three pages later 

D                     A 
 With some aggressive agitator 

C                          D 
 And by and by he comes to hate her 

                                 Em 
 'Cause she don't shave her underarms 

                     D 
 And he can't go for that 

                             A 
 'Cause he's a young sophisticator  





                   F 
 Baby baby why you cryin' 

            G               Am    G  F 
 It made me wonder what she said 

                             Am 
 Forget that book I told her then 

             G                   Am 
 Don't wanna hear about the book again 

      G           F     
 Dear heart, dear heart 


 Tell me, tell me what's the reason 

      G           F 
 Dear heart, dear heart 

               G             Am 
 Tell me, tell me what's the reason  




                               F 
 Would you still love me if my hair grew 

              G            Am    G  F 
 All down the side of my kimono 

                                     Am 
 Well of course I would, it might be hip 

           G                Am 
 If it did not cause you to trip 

      G           F     
 Dear heart, dear heart 

        G         Am 
 Or radiate a bad aroma 

      G           F     
 Dear heart, dear heart 

        G           Am 
 Or radiate a cheap aroma
