INTRO: Eb

#1.
Eb                        Ab           Eb
Down here on the farm the weather gets messy..
                              Bb
laying around with nothin' to do.
     Eb                 Ab          Eb
When you went away, you took my cow Bessie..
Eb                            Bb     Eb
I miss her darling, more than I miss you.

#2.
Eb                          Ab           Eb
You took off your leg, your wig and your glass eye..
Eb                                    Bb
and you should've seen the look on my face.
  Eb                Ab        Eb
I wanted to kiss, I wanted to hug you..
Eb                         Bb       Eb
but you were scattered all over the place.

CHORUS:
Ab                          Eb
Where, oh, where, are you tonight?
Eb                             Bb
Why did you leave me here all alone?
  Eb                           Ab
I searched the world over, and thought I found 
Eb
true love.
Eb                  Bb             Eb
You met another and Phht! you were gone.

#3.
Eb                               Ab        Eb
I know that you loved me, here's my way of knowing.
Eb                                         Bb
The proof's hanging out right there on the line.
     Eb                 Ab            Eb
When I see the snow and feel the wind blowing..
Eb                          Bb            Eb
your nightie's hugging them long johns of mine.

#4.
Eb                     Ab         Eb
The noises you made at our supper table..
Eb                                 Bb
your habits, my dear, were surely absurd.
    Eb                Ab        Eb
But how many times do I have to tell you..
Eb                   Bb           Eb
soup is a dish to be seen and not heard.

CHORUS:
Ab                          Eb
Where, oh, where, are you tonight?
Eb                             Bb
Why did you leave me here all alone?
  Eb                           Ab
I searched the world over, and thought I found 
Eb
true love.
Eb                  Bb             Eb
You met another and Phht! you were gone.

#5.
Eb                        Ab          Eb
Remember you phoned me, a-sobbin' and cryin'..
Eb                                 Bb
the dog bit your ma, and drug her around.
    Eb                       Ab              Eb
You said she looked pale and thought she was dying..
Eb                          Bb        Eb
I said, 'Don't worry,' I'll buy a new hound.'

#6.
Eb                 Ab       Eb
I had six kids and you had eleven..and we had 
                          Bb
a boy, and they grew like flowers.
  Eb                        Ab            Eb
I wish you'd come back, without you ain't Heaven..
Eb                              Bb         Eb
cause your kids and my kids are beatin' up ours.

CHORUS:
Ab                          Eb
Where, oh, where, are you tonight?
Eb                             Bb
Why did you leave me here all alone?
  Eb                           Ab
I searched the world over, and thought I found 
Eb
true love.
Eb                  Bb             Eb
You met another and Phht! you were gone.

You met another and Phht! you..were..gone.
