Last Kiss by J. Frank Wilson and The Cavaliers
Last Kiss
Tuning--Standard (E A D G B E)
[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
Well when I woke up, the rain was pouring down, there were people standing
B
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
I raised her head, and when she smiled and said, "Hold me darling just a
B
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
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight, I lost my love, my life,
E
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....
[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.
