D5 
Hold back the rushing minutes 
G5 
Make the wind lie  still 
A5                                              D5 
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill 
                        G5 
Dry all the raindrops   hold back the sun 
A5                            D5 
My world has ended  my baby's gone 
    A5                              G5              D5 
The milkman whistles sofltly  as he comes up to my door 
        A5                                G5           D5 
And the mailman bring the letters by just like he did before 
D5                                 D5                  G5 
They seem so busy all day long as if though's nothing wrong 
               A5                                  D5 
Don't they the know the world has ended my baby's  gone 
D5 
Hold back the rushing minutes 
G5 
Make the wind lie  still 
A5                                              D5 
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill 
                        G5 
Dry all the raindrops   hold back the sun 
A5                            D5 
My world has ended  my baby's gone 
 
SOLO 

 
  A5 
I wake up sometimes in the night 
    G5              D5  
And realize you're gone 
    A5 
And then I  toss upon my bed   
     G5               D5 
And wait for  day to come 
D5 
I tried to tell my lonely heart 
   D5           G5 
It must go  on alone 
       A5                                   D5 
But it cries the world has ended  my baby's gone 
D5 
Hold back the rushing minutes 
G5 
Make the wind lie  still 
A5                                              D5 
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill 
                        G5 
Dry all the raindrops   hold back the sun 
A5                            D5 
My world has ended  my baby's gone 
E5           A5     G5         D5   
My world has ended  my baby's gone
