[Chorus 1]

   G                     Em       C                   D

Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me

G                           Em                 C                        D          G     G

 She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I leave this world

[Verse 1]

        G                  Em           C                 D

We were out on a date in my daddy's car, we hadn't driven very far

G                  Em             C                       D

There in the road, straight ahead, a car was stalled, the engine was dead

G                     Em                         C                D

I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right, I’ll never forget the sound that night

    G                    Em                 C                   D       G    G

The screaming tires, the bustin' glass, the painful scream that I heard last

[Verse 2]

     G                      Em             C                          D

When I woke up, the rain was pouring down, there were people standing all around

G                    Em                   C                  D

Something warm going through my eyes, but somehow I found my baby that night

  G                              Em           C                      D

I lifted her head, she looked at me and said: Hold me darling just a little while

  G                            Em                 C                     D

I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss, I'd found the love that I knew I had missed

      G                    Em                         C               D         G     G

Well, now she's gone, even though I hold her tight, I lost my love my life that night

[Chorus 3]

[Outro]

G         Em    C             D

Ooo-o-o-o-oooh, ooo-o-o-o-o-o-oh

G         Em    C             D

Ooo-o-o-o-oooh, ooo-o-o-o-o-o-oh

G         Em    C             D

Ooo-o-o-o-oooh, ooo-o-o-o-o-o-oh

G         Em    C             D

Ooo-o-o-o-oooh, ooo-o-o-o-o-o-oh
