Key of Eb     Capo I and play in D

(Intro)
D5                 F#5
D5       F#5       G5     D5    x2 (with strings)

    D5      F#5              G5         D5
The sun is shining, there's plenty of light (oh yeah)
  D5          F#5      G5         D5
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright (oh yeah)
    D5
But after I've been crying all night
    D5      F#5           G5             D5
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old

(CHORUS)
D5
Since I lost my baby (Since I lost my baby)
    G5
Oh, since I lost my baby (Oh, since I lost my baby)

The birds are singin? and the children are playin?
There's plenty of work and the bosses are payin?
Not a sad word should a young heart be sayin?
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor

(repeat CHORUS)
G5                         
Next time I'll be kinder (Next time I'll be kinder)
          D5                                  D5
Won't you please help me find her (Won't you please help me find her)
G5                        G5
Someone just remind her (Someone just remind her)
        D5                                 D5
Of this love she left behind her (Of this love she left behind her)
       G5                                  G5
?Til I find her I'll be tryin? ta (?Til I find her I'll be tryin? ta)
     G5       D5      G5      D5       G5      D5
Everyday I'm more inclined ta      find  her
  G5      D5      G5    D5      G5 G5      G5  A5    A5  D5
Inclined ta     find her    Inclined ta find my baby
G5                         D5            G5                        G5 G5 G5 A5 A5 A5
 Been looking everywhere (Ba--by) Baby   I really, really care!

Oh, determination is fading fast (oh yeah)
Inspiration is a thing of the past (oh yeah)
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad

(Outro)
D5
Since I lost my baby (Since I lost my baby)
    G5                      G5   G5    G5  A5 A5 A5    D5
Oh, since I lost my baby  (since I ?) I feel so bad   (since I lost my baby)
          G5         G5     G5     G5  A5 A5 A5    D5
I feel so sad   (since I ?)   Everything is wrong   (since I lost my baby)
                            G5      G5     G5      G5  A5 A5 A5    D5
This heart is hard to carry on  (since I ?)  I'm lost as can be   (since I ?) 
                       G5
What's gonna happen to me?
