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 cryin' tires, 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
