[Chorus]
   G                     Em       C                   D
Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
G                           Em                 C                        D          G     G
 She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I leave this world

[Verse 1]
        G                  Em           C                 D
We were out on a date in my daddy's car, we hadn't driven very far
G                  Em             C                       D
There in the road, straight ahead, a car was stalled, the engine was dead
G                     Em                         C                D
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right, I’ll never forget the sound that night
    G                    Em                 C                   D       G    G
The screaming tires, the bustin' glass, the painful scream that I heard last

[Chorus]
   G                     Em       C                   D
Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
G                           Em                 C                        D          G     G
 She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I leave this world

[Verse 2]
     G                      Em             C                          D
When I woke up, the rain was pouring down, there were people standing all around
G                      Em                   C                  D
Something warm flowin' through my eyes, but somehow I found my baby that night
  G                              Em           C                      D
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said: Hold me darling just a little while
  G                            Em                 C                     D
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss, I'd found the love that I knew I had missed
      G                    Em                         C               D         G     G
Well, now she's gone, even though I hold her tight, I lost my love my life that night

[Chorus]
   G                     Em       C                   D
Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
G                           Em                 C                        D          G     G
 She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I leave this world

[Outro]
G         Em    C             D
Ooo-o-o-o-oooh, ooo-o-o-o-o-o-oh
G         Em    C             D
Ooo-o-o-o-oooh, ooo-o-o-o-o-o-oh
G         Em    C             D
Ooo-o-o-o-oooh, ooo-o-o-o-o-o-oh
G         Em    C             D
Ooo-o-o-o-oooh, ooo-o-o-o-o-o-oh
