By Joan Osborne, from the Relish album. I've rolled the guitar and piano
bits into one, especially in the intro.

How to play
"Crazy Baby"

I'd play the chorus as follows: [E] Oh my crazy [Am6/C or Cdim5] Baby. [E] Don't turn out the [Am6 or Cdim5] lights. Why? Because the melody has a F#. So Cmaj doesn't work although C is in the bass. The D isn't even in there according to my ear. Am6 with a C bass sounds right but kinda' convoluted way to write it. So a C with a Dim 5 is probably the easiest way to convey the voicing. I'm playing this on piano so the voicings I'm suggesting are probably a heck of a lot easier than on guitar. Anyway, take it with a grain of salt!
