Galveston for the Baritone Guitar
Glen Campbell
written by Jimmy Webb

Baritone tuned to A or capo 1st fret and play in B

This is for the original recording in F. Glen played this in F#, D,
or any place he felt like depending on the preformance. 

Here it is played in C for the Bariton Guitar

It changed over the years as to the riffs he played and whether there
was a baritone guitar playing with him. This is best played with 
barre chords. I encourage you to try barre chords, sometimes the 
capo chords just don't sound right, especially when you get higher 
on the neck. Broaden your range, you'll be amazed how easy it is 
with practice. Plus chord changes are easier.

Intro G  C  G  C  F G 

  Riff to C chord played twice  then F G to C below

G       C        Em       F     Em Dm7 
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
        G      Am       F            C  F G C       
She was twenty-one when I left Galveston


C             F  G C           Cmaj7        C7       F      Em Dm7
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
G       C                 F       Em Dm7        
While I watch the cannons flashing
  G        Am       F              C  F G D#      
I clean my gun then dream of Galveston


                         F      D#    F 
I still see her standing by the water
Gm                     F      D#
Standing there lookin' out to sea
           Cm      F         Bb            
And is she waiting there for me?
        Dm                    D#  F C
On the beach where we used to run


C              F G C      Cmaj7    C7      F    Em  Dm7
Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
         C        Em         F     Em  Dm7
Before I dry the tears she's crying
G        Am         C         F      Em     Dm7  
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
         A    F         C    F  G  C
At Galveston,   at Galveston.
