Travis
Song: Baby One More Time (original – B. Spears)
B-side from Turn CD 1.
I know that there are already a number of versions of this song here,
but I don’t think any of them are quite complete. Having used these
for inspiration and listened to the song hundreds of times I think I
have it perfect. I have put in the words as I didn’t know them all
before I started listening to it (neither did Fran the first time
they played it on radio 1 – someone held them up on a bit of paper
for him while he played!!)
The position you play the chords is important so take note!!! Get
practicing those barre chords!!!
Standard tuning

Intro:
Bm F# D E F# (three times)
(on the Bm minor trying lifting your middle finger off the B string
so it becomes x24422 – sorry I’m not too good at working out the
names – think it’s B5 – listening to the recording will give you an
idea of what I mean!!
The intro chords are used throughout unless otherwise stated:
Verse 1:
Oh baby baby how was I supposed to know, something wasn’t right here.
Oh baby baby I shouldn’t have let you go, and now you’re out of
sight.
Bridge:
Show me how you want it to be,
Tell me baby cos I need to know now just because
Chorus:
My loneliness is killing me, and I
I must confess I still believe, still believe,
When I’m not with you I lose my mind, give me a sign
And hit me baby one more time
Verse 2:
Oh baby baby the reason I breathe is you, girl you got me blind
Oh pretty baby there’s nothing I wouldn’t do,
It’s not the way I planned
Bridge – Chorus
