Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

G

Oh where, oh where can my baby be?

C G

The Lord took her away from me

G

She’s gone to heaven, so I got to be good

C G

So I can see my baby when I leave this world

Chorus

C G

We were out on a date in my daddy’s car

C G

We hadn’t driven very far

C G

There in the road, straight ahead

C G

A car was stalled, the engine was dead

C G

I couldn’t stop, so I swerved to the right

C G

I’ll never forget the sound that night

C G

The screaming tires, the busting glass

C G

The painful scream that I heard last

Verse 2

G

Oh, when I woke up, the rain was pouring down

C G

There were people standing all around

G

Something warm flowing through my eyes

C G

But somehow I found my baby that night

I lifted her head, she looked at me and said

C G

“Hold me darling just a little while”

I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss

C G

I found the love that I knew I had missed

Well now she’s gone, even though I hold her tight

C G

I lost my love, my life that night

Chorus

C G

We were out on a date in my daddy’s car

C G

We hadn’t driven very far

C G

There in the road, straight ahead

C G

A car was stalled, the engine was dead

C G

I couldn’t stop, so I swerved to the right

C G

I’ll never forget the sound that night

C G

The screaming tires, the busting glass

C G

The painful scream that I heard last

Bridge

G

Oh, oh

Verse 3

G

Now, every time I hold a new girl

C G

I think of her and what might have been

G

I’ll never blame the driver in the wreck

C G

He was just 17, he was just like me

Chorus

C G

We were out on a date in my daddy’s car

C G

We hadn’t driven very far

C G

There in the road, straight ahead

C G

A car was stalled, the engine was dead

C G

I couldn’t stop, so I swerved to the right

C G

I’ll never forget the sound that night

C G

The screaming tires, the busting glass

C G

The painful scream that I heard last

Practice tip: The song uses only two chords, G and C. Practice switching between them cleanly before adding the lyrics to build muscle memory.
