A great tune, indeed. I think I was introduced to this tune on Jim Kweskin's Garden of Joy album ca. 1967 and I love their version (the band included both of the Muldaurs). But I've always liked Don Redman's version too. I play this in the key of C with my partner/SO Joy Ward on fiddle. The chords I play are: [575655]Love makes me [5x3543]treat you the [4x2432]way that I [5x555x]do, [5x455x]Gee baby [353433]ain't I good to [3x2210]you, ___ [4x343x] [5x454x] [575655]Nothin's too [5x3543]good for a [4x2432]girl that's [5x555x]true, [5x455x]Gee baby [353433]ain't I good to [3x2210]you, [5x353x]I got you a fir coat for [6x565x]Christmas, [3x333x]a dia- [xx3335]mond [3x233x]ring, [xx3555]A Cadillac [575655]car [5x3543]and every- [4x2432]thing, It's [575655]Love makes me [5x3543]treat you the [4x2432]way that I [5x555x]do, [5x455x]Gee baby [353433]ain't I good to [3x2210]you.
In the original recording and again in Kweskin's the verse is done one time as a recitation and is sung once. - Mark
