Intro: G


                   G
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   D                   G
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   C                   G
I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls
                     D                           G
Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

            G
Her skin is dark and softer than a baby's
                  D                        G
When she sings to me her voice is sweet as candy
                  C                       G
Her lips are rose red, as sweet as cheery wine
                       D                              G
Her eyes are green and blue, they can't make up their mind

                  G                       
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                  D                    G
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   C                   G
I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls
                     D                           G
Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

                 G                           
Went down to the station, I thought that I would find you
                           D                          G
With your suit case on the ground, I knew I was right behind you, yeah
                   C                            G
As the train doors closed I saw you through the window
                    D                         G
You watched me as I waved; the train took you away

                  G                             
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                  D                    G
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   C                   G
I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls
                     D                           G
Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

I know that she's gone

I saw that building burned down, when I got to your front lawn
I thought that you'd be here, yeah, but you'd already gone
I went down to the river, you hid under the water
And then you held your breath, yeah, and then you disappeared

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls
Don't know where she goes, I don't know where she goes
