E5                           C#5 
Well, where oh where can my baby be? 
A5                 B5 
The Lord took her away from me 
E5                          C#5 
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good, 
   A5                        B5          E5 
So I can see my baby when I leave this world 
 

E5                           C#5 
We were out on a date in my daddy's car 
A5                B5 
We hadn't driven very far 
E5                  C#5 
There in the road, straight ahead 
A5                        B5 
The car was stalled, the engine was dead 
E5                     C#5 
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right 
A5                B5 
Never forget the sound that night 
    E5                 C#5 
The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass 
    A5                   B5       E5 
The painful scream that I heard last 


E5                           C#5 
Well, where oh where can my baby be? 
A5                 B5 
The Lord took her away from me 
E5                          C#5 
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good, 
   A5                        B5          E5 
So I can see my baby when I leave this world  
 
 
E5                                  C#5 
Well, when I woke up, the rain was fallin' down 
A5                          B5 
There were people standing all around 
E5                      C#5 
Something warm running in my eyes 
      A5             B5 
But I found my baby somehow that night 
   E5                   C#5 
I raised her head, and then she smiled and said 
  A5                    B5 
"Hold me darling for a little while" 
   E5                           C#5 
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss 
   A5                    B5 
I found the love that I knew I would miss 
    E5                    C#5               
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight 
   A5                B5         E5 
I lost my love. my life, that night
