[Verse 1]
 
C#m7               G#aug
Granma came to see
          C#m7            G#aug
Something she could not believe

How could her girl be

So naive

The secret she conceived

That big old smile of yours
               C#m7        G#aug
Could turn the wind into a song
C#m7                    G#aug

Like a brand new blade
        Emaj7       Amaj7
You cut into my life
            Emaj7      Amaj7
Cut through two decades
       Emaj7          Amaj7
Like a hot coal on ice

When I look at you
  C#m7             G#aug
I can't believe my eyes
              C#m7
And with your magic
  G#aug                          C#m7             G#aug
I think you just might charm the birds out of the sky
 
 
[Chorus]

Tar   baby, tar   baby, tar   baby
N.C.
Came good out of grief
 
 
[Bridge]
 
  Emaj7           Amaj7
A golden thread inside of the web
           Emaj7     Amaj7
That I got caught in
           Emaj7                Amaj7
Oh, it's a lover's revenge, but out of the pain
              Emaj7  Amaj7
Come the best things 
 
 
[Outro]
 
        Emaj7       Amaj7
You cut into my life  
        Emaj7       Amaj7
You cut into my life     (baby baby baby baby don't you know that) 
        Emaj7       Amaj7
You cut into my life     (I love you) 
        Emaj7       Amaj7
You cut into my life
 
Emaj7          Amaj7
La la la la la ooh
                 Emaj7           Amaj7
You can turn the wind into a song
Emaj7          Amaj7
La la la la la baby baby baby
                 Emaj7
It's with me you belong

Thank you so much these chords are beautiful and though a stretch for my hand they truly are reflective of the song!

Strangely, the recording of this song is tuned up about 25 "cents" (about a quarter of a note). This might be why the contribution could sound "off" if you're playing along to the song. Also I think you could have transcribed the intro part to complete the tab. Excellent work regardless.
