Last Kiss
Pearl Jam
tabbed by William Low


        This is Pearl Jam's take on Frank J. Wilson and the Cavaliers'
"Last Kiss". They performed it at Meriweather Post Pavilion. And the
people in the Pearl Jam fan club apparently recieved a copy of the
song for being members. Lyrics supplied at:

Well, where oh where can my baby be?
C                  D
The Lord took her away from me.
G                          Em
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
   C                        D
so I can see my baby when I leave this world.
        (Small break for drums)
 
        Same throughout the rest of the song

We were out on a date in my daddy's car.
We hadn't driven very far.
There in the road, straight ahead ...
The car was stalled, the engine was dead.
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right.
Never forget the sound that night ...
The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass.
The painful scream that I heard last.
 
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
so I can see my baby when I leave this world.
 
Well, when I woke up, the rain was pourin' down.
There were people standing all around.
Something warm running in my eyes,
but I found my baby somehow that night.
I raised her head, and when she smiled, and said,
"Hold me darling for a little while."
I held her close.  I kissed her our last kiss.
I found the love that I knew I would miss.
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love ... my life, that night.

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