Words and music by Kenny O'Dell

Capo on 1st fret if you want to play to the music
Key: C# Major then D major 1:21 halfway through the song

VERSE:

C F G C
My baby makes me proud, Lord don't she make me proud
C F G D7 G7
She never makes a scene by hanging all over me in a crowd
C F G C
'Cause people like to talk, Lord, how they love to talk
C Dm F G7 C
But when they turn out the lights, I know she'll be leaving with me

CHORUS:
F G C
And when we get behind closed doors
F G C
Then she lets her hair hang down
F Em Dm
And she makes me glad that I'm a man
Dm Em F G Dm Em F G C
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.

Here the song changes key by a half step (or semi-tone)
Move your capo to the second fret to play this part

VERSE:

C F G C
My baby makes me smile, Lord don't she make me smile
F G D7 G7
She's never too far away or too tired to say "I want you"
C F G C
She's always a lady, just like a lady should be
C Dm F G7 C
But when they turn out the lights, she's still a baby to me.

Repeat chorus --


Random piano intro on guitar (no capo), not perfect, but close enough

This is the same piano part but an octave lower.
Make sure you play this with a capo on the first fret for it to be in the same key as the song.
