[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
