My Baby's Gone

[D]Hold back the rushing minutes
[G]Make the wind lie  still
[A7]Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely [D]hill
Dry all the raindrops   [G]hold back the sun
[A7]My world has ended  my baby's [D]gone
The [A7]milkman whistles sofltly  as he [G]comes up to my [D]door
And the [A7]mailman bring the letters by just [G]like he did [D]before
[D]They seem so busy all day long as [D7]if there's nothing [G]wrong
Don't they the [A7]know the world has ended my baby's  [D]gone
[D]Hold back the rushing minutes
[G]Make the wind lie  still
[A7]Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely [D]hill
Dry all the raindrops   [G]hold back the sun
[A7]My world has ended  my baby's [D]gone

I [A7]wake up sometimes in the night
And [G]realize you're [D]gone
And [A7]then I  toss upon my bed
And w[G]ait for  day to [D]come
[D]I tried to tell my lonely heart
It [D7]must go  on a[G]lone
But it [A7]cries the world has ended  my baby's [D]gone
[D]Hold back the rushing minutes
[G]Make the wind lie  still
[A7]Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely [D]hill
Dry all the raindrops   [G]hold back the sun
[A7]My world has ended  my baby's [D]gone
[Em]My world has [A7]ended  my baby's [D]gone
