Gone

INTRO: F   C   G   Am

                       C
I was going on twelve, she was just 
nine
G                        Am
Passing round her little valentines
                             C
With the devil dancing there in her 
eyes
G                          Am
Teasing, someday she would be my 
bride
         F                         
I said, “You're just a little girl,
         Am
 now, go on”
       G
And as soon as I turned around
N.C.          Am
There she was, gone


CHORUS:
              F
There she was, gone
          C
I started thinking 'bout her night 
and day
          G
I started singing a young love song
              Am
There she was, gone


                            C
We're out of school now and she's my
 girl
        G                      Am
But her restless soul needs to see 
the world
                               C
I search for a promise in those 
dancing eyes
G                     Am
Would she settle down by my side

    F                              
She whispers in my ear, “Babe, you 
          Am
can't hold on”
     G
So I opened up my arms
N.C.          Am
There she was, gone


CHORUS:
              F
There she was, gone
                    C
I thought about her night and day
      G
I was singing a lovesick song
              Am
There she was, gone


                              C
Now we're Mom and Dad, with a girl 
of our own
G                           Am
Growing like a weed in this happy 
home
                             C
She's got that devil and her mama's 
blue eyes
    G               Am
But no one realizes how time flies
          F                      
Until the house is still, no more 
              Am
little girl's song
G
One day we turned around
N.C.          Am
There she was, gone


INTERLUDE: F   C   G   Am


                    C
I'm an old man now, she's still my 
girl
G                    Am
Spends her days in a long gone world
                             C
There's a darker devil hiding in her
 eyes
G                         Am
Telling her she's someone else's 
wife
    F                              
She looks at me and says, “Mister, 
       Am
what's wrong?”
    G
And right before my eyes
N.C.          Am
There she was, gone


CHORUS:
              F
There she was, gone
      C
I was searching for her every day
      G
I was singing a worried man's song
                  Am
But there she was, gone


CHORUS:
              F
There she was, gone
        C
I'll be thinking 'bout her all my 
days
        G
I'll be singing an old love song
              Am
There she was, gone
