[Verse 1]

  G                       Em

Oh 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've got to be good

C                           D          G

So I can see my baby when I leave this world

[Verse 2] 

G                           Em

We were out on a date in my daddy's car

C                D

We hadn't driven very far

G                  Em

There in the road, straight ahead

C                  D

A car was stalled, the engine was dead

G                     Em

I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right

C                     D

I'll never forget the sound that night

G                        Em

The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass

C                       D       G

The painful scream that I heard last

[Chorus]

   G                       Em

Oh 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've got to be good

C                           D          G

So I can see my baby when I leave this world

[Verse 3]

G                           Em

When I woke up the rain was pourin' down

C                          D

There were people standing all around

G                    Em

Something warm goin' through my eyes

C                      D

But somehow I found my baby that night

G                                Em

I lifted her head, she looked at me and said

C                        D

"Hold me darling, just a little while"

G                              Em

I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss

C                       D

I found the love that I knew I had missed

G

Well now she's gone

             Em

Even though I hold her tight

C               D             G

I lost my love, my life, that night
