[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
