Filipino Baby Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]When [A]the [D]warships left Manila
Sailin' [G]proudly o 'er the sea,
deep blue [D]sea
All the sailors' hearts were
[E]filled with sad regret
[A]Lookin' bac[D]kwards to this island
Where they'd [G]spent such happy hours,
happy [D]hours
Making [A]love to every
pretty girl they [D]met
Went up, stepped the little sailor
with his [G]bright eyes
All aglow, all [D]aglow
Saying, take a look at [E]my gal's photograph
[A]And the sai[D]lors gathered
round him just to look
[G]Up on her face, smilin' fac[D]e
And he [A]said, I love my Filipino [D]baby
Well, she's my Filipino baby
She's my [G]darlin',
she's my pet, lovin' [D]pet
Her teeth are bright and pearly
And her [E]hair is black as [A]jet
Oh, her [D]lips are sweet as honey
And her [G]heart is pure, I know, yes, I [D]know
And I [A]love my little Filipino baby
[D][G][D]
[E][A][D][G]
[D][A][D]
In a little rusty cottage in
the [G]far -off
Philippines, Philippines
[D]Dwells a pretty little
[E]maiden all [A]alone
And she's [D]thinking of her true love
Though he's [G]far across the sea,
deep blue [D]sea
And her [A]heart beats true for
him and him [D]alone
Then one day he whispered, Darling,
I've come [G]back from Caroline, North Car[D]oline
I've come back to claim
the [E]only girl I [A]love
And that [D]night there was a wedding
while the [G]ship crew gathered around,
all [D]around
And he [A]wed his little Filipino [D]baby
Girl, she's my Filipino baby,
she's my [G]darlin',
she's my pet, lovin' [D]pet
Her teeth are bright and pearly
and her [E]hair is black as [A]jelly
Oh, her [D]lips are sweet as honey
and her [G]heart is pure, I know, yes, I [D]know
And I [A]love my little Filipino baby
