J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers
[Intro]
(tacit; let bass play it out)
[Chorus]
        E                C#m        A                    B
Well, where oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
E                           C#m                A
  She's gone to heaven so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I
 B          E
leave this world
[Verse 1]
         E               C#m            A                  B
We were out on a date in my daddy's car, we hadn't driven very far
  E                         C#m          A                        B
There in the road, it was straight ahead, the car was stalled, the engine was dead
E                      C#m                   A                B
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right, never forget the sound that night
      E               C#m                 A       E
The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass, the painful scream that I heard last
[Chorus]
        E                C#m        A                    B
Well, where oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
E                           C#m                A
  She's gone to heaven so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I
 B          E
leave this world
[Verse 2]
          E                        C#m            A                        B
Well when I woke up, the rain was pouring down, there were people standing all around
 E                      C#m           A                   B
Something warm a-runnin' in my eyes, but I found my baby somehow that night
   E                             C#m               A                      B
I raised her head, and when she smiled and said, "Hold me darling just a little while",
   E                          C#m                A         B
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss, I found the love that I knew that I'd miss
     E                     C#m                       A       B                   E
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight, I lost my love, my life, that night
[Chorus]
        E                C#m        A                    B
Well, where oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
E                           C#m                A
  She's gone to heaven so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I
 B          E
leave this world
[Outro]
 E     C#m     A      B
Eee....eee....eee....eee....
 E     C#m     A      B
Eee....eee....eee....eee....
