                             Em
 we were out on a date in my daddys car
 C                D
 we hadn't driven very far
 G              Em
 up in the road straight ahead
 C                   D
 the car was stalled, the engine was dead
 G                       Em
 i couldn't miss it so i swereved to the right
 C                        D
 never forget the sound i heard that night
 G                      Em
 the squeling tires the busting glass
 C                   D
 her painful scream that i heard last
 G                        Em
 well, where oh where can my baby be
 C                  D
 the lord took her away from me
 G                           Em
 now shes gone to heaven so i got to be good
 C                           D               G
 so i can see my baby when i leave this world
                           Em
 when i woke up the rain was coming down
 C                     D
 there were people standing all around
 G                 Em
 something warm running in my eyes
 C                    D
 but i found my baby somehow that night
 G                        Em
 i raised her head as she smiled and said
 C                     D
 hold me close for a little while
 G                    Em
 i held her tight i kissed her our last kiss
 C                      D
 i found a love that i knew that i'd miss
 G                       Em
 and now shes gone even though i hold her tight
 C                      D
 i lost my life, my love, that night
 G*          *            Em*   *
 so where oh where can my baby be
 C*             *   D*        *
 the lord took her away from me
 G*                     *          Em*           *
 well now shes gone to heaven so i got to be good
 C*               *     D*      *             G*
 so i can see my baby when i leave this world
