Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

(tacit; let bass play it out)

Chorus

 Well, where oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me

She's gone to heaven so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I

 leave this world

Verse 1

 We were out on a date in my daddy's car, we hadn't driven very far

 There in the road, it was straight ahead, the car was stalled, the engine

was dead

I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right, never forget the sound that

night

 The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass, the painful scream that I heard last

Chorus 2

-different vocal tune, same chords]

Verse 2

 Well when I woke up, the rain was pouring down, there were people standing

all around

 Something warm a-runnin' in my eyes, but I found my baby somehow that night

 I raised her head, and when she smiled and said, "Hold me darling just a

 little while",

 I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss, I found the love that I knew

that I'd miss

 But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight, I lost my love, my life,

 that night.

Chorus 2

Outro

 Eee....eee....eee....eee....

 Eee....eee....eee....eee....

[repeat OUTRO to fade out]

So it's just an E-C#m-A-B progression repeated throughout the song. Keep a good tempo,

make it too slow. It's supposed to be more of a story than a real tearjerker. Don't make

too fast, either. You're not happy she died, either (hopefully). I like to instead of

out after a bunch of repeats, just end cold on an E after two or three "eee"

But, do as you like.

Have fun, and rock til the heavens stop you!
