Baby, Your Look Good To Me Tonight John Denver, By David Hubbard



Baby You Look Good To Me Tonight, John Denver By David Hubbard 
See below for details of John's fatal plane crash..did not fill up with gas, fuel tank changeover switch stuck, pushed with right foot to get leverage, then an "uncontrolled turning descent" at 500', could not use dental records because so badly disfigured........grisly....
I've (G) been up on this highway, four or (Am) five days in a row
My (G) words all run together and my (Am) feet are moving slow
I've (D) got to stop and (C) eat while it's still (G) light
There's a (D) local angel sitting on my (G) right
Do (C) you be (C/b) lieve in (C/a) love at (C/g) first (D) sight
(Am) Baby, you look (D7) good to me to (G) night

Well' I'm ordinarily very shy
And I'd (A7) be polite if I had the time
(D) Baby, you look (C) good to me to (G) night
Tomorrow I'll be good and gone but
(A7) Please don't make me wait that long
(D) Baby, you look (C) good to me to (G) night

"I get off at eleven" she (Am) said and walked away
She (G) poured a cup of coffee and she (Am) brought it on a tray
She (D) said "It would be (C) nice if you could (G) stay
(D) You're the best (C) idea I've (G) had all day
(C) Us (C/b) ually (C/a) I'd put (C/g) up a (D) fight,
(Am) Baby, you look (D7) good to me to (G) night."

Well, I'm very ordinarily very shy
But I (A7) grinned at her while I ate my pie, said
(D) "Baby, you look (C) good to me to (G) night."
I thought I must be in a dream
When she (A7) asked me if I wanted cream
(D) Baby, you look (C) good to me to (G) night

(Am) All in all you (D) know
It's not a (Bm) bad life on the (Em) road
If you got (Am) wheels to roll and (D) lucky stars a (G) bove
Your (Am) destiny's your (D) own
You go as (Bm) far as you can (Em) go
And if there's (Am) time to sleep
There's (D) time to make love  (D7sus4)

I (G) came, I saw, I conquered and (Am) rode off in the sun
But you (G) know the look she left me with keeps (Am) telling me she won
Her (D) face is the (C) only thing I (G) see
(D) Whispering those (C) words of (G) prophecy
"Well, I (C) may come (C/b) easy, (C/a) but I (C/g) don't come (D)free,
you're (Am) never gonna (D7) see the last of (G) me."
 

Baby, you look good to me
I was (A7) born to love you, can't you see
(D) Baby, you look (C) good to me to (G) night
Well, I'm ordinarily very shy
But I (A7) take the time to satisfy
(D) Baby, you look (C) good to me to (G) night

This particular aircraft had an unusual reconfiguration of the fuel selector valve handle, which had been moved from the instrument panel to behind the left shoulder of the pilot. Apparently it also had a sticky O-ring and was hard to move. Both factors may have led to Denver pushing the right rudder pedal when he turned to switch fuel tanks by moving the handle. The aircraft then entered an uncontrolled turning descent: a spiral dive or a spin. Flying at an estimated altitude of 500 feet (150 m), he did not have time to recover. As the wreck badly disfigured Denver's head and body, making identification by dental records impossible, records of his fingerprints taken from his arrests for intoxicated driving were used to confirm that the fallen pilot was indeed the singer.
