Here is my instrumental version of the song "Baby I'm-A Want You" which was originally recorded by the American soft rock band Bread. The single was released in October 1971 and became the title track for the album of the same name, released in January 1972.
It was one of Bread's highest-charting singles in both the U.S. and UK. In the U.S., it reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in November 1971, the third of Bread's four top-five hits ("Make It with You", No. 1 in 1970; "If", No. 4 earlier in 1971; and "Everything I Own", from the same album, No. 5 in 1972). "Baby I'm-a Want You" reached the top of the Easy Listening chart and rose to No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1972. It was written by the band's lead vocalist David Gates
I played this using my Fender Stratocaster (Neck Pickup) and the Zoom G2.1Nu with Echoes From The Past (EFTP Patch A9). Recording was via USB to my home PC with Cubase.
Special thanks to Phil McGarrick (random275 on RU-vid) for inspiring me to cover this and also for making the backing track and tab available. Both are free to download from his website at www.philmcgarri...
I hope you enjoy my version of this 70's classic
LYRICS:
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy, but I just can't live without
Your lovin' and affection, givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour
Lately, I'm a prayin'
That you'll always be here stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why
Lately, I'm-a prayin'
That you'll always be here stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
You taught me why
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
Ooh, it took so long to find you, baby
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
