Tom: C
C Am F G
[Chorus]
C Am
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
F G
The lord took her away from me
C Am
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good;
F G C
so I can see my baby when I leave this world
[Verse 1]
C Am
We were out on a date in my daddy s car;
F G
we hadn't driven very far
C Am
There in the road straight ahead;
F G
the car was stalled, the engine was dead
C Am
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right;
F G
never forget, the sound that night
C Am
The crying tires, the busting glass;
F G C
her painful scream that I heard last
[Chorus]
C Am
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
F G
The lord took her away from me
C Am
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good;
F G C
so I can see my baby when I leave this world
[Verse 2]
C Am
Well, when I woke up the rain was pouring down;
F G
there were people, standing all around
C Am
Something warm, running in my eyes
F G
but somehow I found my baby that night
C Am
I raised her head then she smiled and said
F G
hold me darling for a little while
C Am
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss;
F G
I found a love, that I knew I would miss
C Am
And now she's gone, even though I hold her tight;
F G C
I lost my love, my life, that night
[Chorus]
C Am
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
F G
The lord took her away from me
C Am
she's gone to heaven so I got to be good;
F G C
so I can see my baby when I leave this world
C Am
Hmmmmmmmmm
C Am
Hmmmmmmmmm
