Great song. Real easy to play, and a great way to get a chick to think you're a real
;-).

I've seen it chorded out here before, but those are in the wrong key. Here's the correct key.

"Last Kiss"
J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers
Tuning--Standard (E A D G B E)

INTRO: (tacit; let bass play it out)
CHORUS:
        E (022100@1)              C#m (x13321@4)      A (x02220@1)                  BWell, (x2444x@1)where oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
E (022100@1)                         C#m (x13321@4)              A (x02220@1) She's gone to heaven so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I
 B (x2444x@1)        Eleave (022100@1)this world

VERSE 1:
         E (022100@1)             C#m (x13321@4)          A (x02220@1)                BWe (x2444x@1)were out on a date in my daddy's car, we hadn't driven very far
  E (022100@1)                       C#m (x13321@4)        A (x02220@1)                  
    BThere (x2444x@1)in the road, it was straight ahead, the car was stalled, the engine

was dead
E (022100@1)                    C#m (x13321@4)                 A (x02220@1)              BI (x2444x@1)couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right, never forget the sound that

night
      E (022100@1)             C#m (x13321@4)               A (x02220@1)      EThe (022100@1)cryin' tires, the bustin' glass, the painful scream that I heard last

[CHORUS 2--different vocal tune, same chords]

VERSE 2:
          E (022100@1)                      C#m (x13321@4)          AWell (x02220@1)when I woke up, the rain was pouring down, there were people standing
Ball (x2444x@1)around
 E (022100@1)                    C#m (x13321@4)         A (x02220@1)                 BSomething (x2444x@1)warm a-runnin' in my eyes, but I found my baby somehow that night
   E (022100@1)                           C#m (x13321@4)             AI (x02220@1)raised her head, and when she smiled and said, "Hold me darling just a
 Blittle (x2444x@1)while",
   E (022100@1)                        C#m (x13321@4)              A (x02220@1)        BI (x2444x@1)held her close, I kissed her our last kiss, I found the love that I knew

that I'd miss
     E (022100@1)                   C#m (x13321@4)                     A (x02220@1)      BBut (x2444x@1)now she's gone, even though I hold her tight, I lost my love, my life,
      Ethat (022100@1)night.

[CHORUS 2]

OUTRO:
 E (022100@1)   C#m (x13321@4)   A (x02220@1)    BEee....eee....eee....eee.... (x2444x@1) E (022100@1)   C#m (x13321@4)   A (x02220@1)    BEee....eee....eee....eee.... (x2444x@1)[repeat OUTRO to fade out]

So it's just an E-C#m-A-B progression repeated throughout the song. Keep a good tempo,
make it too slow. It's supposed to be more of a story than a real tearjerker. Don't make
too fast, either. You're not happy she died, either (hopefully). I like to instead of 
out after a bunch of repeats, just end cold on an E after two or three "eee"
But, do as you like.

E|-0-| C#m|-4-|   A|-5-|   B|-4---|

Have fun, and rock til the heavens stop you!
