E                           C#m  
Well, where oh where can my baby be?  
A                 B  
The Lord took her away from me  
E                          C#m  
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,  
   A                        B          E  
So I can see my baby when I leave this world  
  
E                           C#m  
We were out on a date in my daddy's car  
A                B  
We hadn't driven very far  
E                  C#m  
There in the road, straight ahead  
A                        B  
The car was stalled, the engine was dead  
E                     C#m  
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right  
A                B  
Never forget the sound that night  
    E                 C#m  
The screechin' tires, and the bustin' glass  
    A                   B       E  
The painful scream that I heard last  


E                           C#m  
Well, where oh where can my baby be?  
A                 B  
The Lord took her away from me  
E                          C#m  
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,  
   A                        B          E  
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
  
  
  
E                                  C#m  
Well, when I woke up, the rain was fallin' down  
A                          B  
There were people standing all around  
E                      C#m  
Something warm running in my eyes  
      A             B  
But I found my baby somehow that night  
   E                   C#m  
I raised her head, and then she smiled and said  
  A                    B  
"Hold me darling for a little while"  
   E                           C#m  
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss  
   A                    B  
I found the love that I knew I would miss  
    E                    C#m                
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight  
   A                B         E  
I lost my love. my life, that night
