D
Hold back the rushing minutes
G
Make the wind lie still
A7 D
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
G
Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun
A7 D
My world has ended my baby's gone
A7 G D
The milkman whistles sofltly as he comes up to my door
A7 G D
And the mailman bring the letters by just like he did before
D D7 G
They seem so busy all day long as if though's nothing wrong
A7 D
Don't they the know the world has ended my baby's gone
D
Hold back the rushing minutes
G
Make the wind lie still
A7 D
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
G
Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun
A7 D
My world has ended my baby's gone
SOLO
A7
I wake up sometimes in the night
G D
And realize you're gone
A7
And then I toss upon my bed
G D
And wait for day to come
D
I tried to tell my lonely heart
D7 G
It must go on alone
A7 D
But it cries the world has ended my baby's gone
D
Hold back the rushing minutes
G
Make the wind lie still
A7 D
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
G
Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun
A7 D
My world has ended my baby's gone
Em A7 G D
My world has ended my baby's gone
