Intro: G Em C D G
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.
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 road, straight ahead,
C D
a car was stalled and 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.
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.
G Em
When I woke up the rain was pouring down,
C D
there were people standing all around.
G Em
Something warm was running 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 would miss.
G Em
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight,
C D G
I lost my love, my life, that night.
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
