                   C                   G

I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls

                     D                           G

Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone



            G

Her skin is dark and softer than a baby's

                  D                        G

When she sings to me her voice is sweet as candy

                  C                       G

Her lips are rose red, as sweet as cheery wine

                       D                              G

Her eyes are green and blue, they can't make up their mind

Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone



                 G                           

Went down to the station, I thought that I would find you

                           D                          G

With your suit case on the ground, I knew I was right behind you, yeah

                   C                            G

As the train doors closed I saw you through the window

                    D                         G

You watched me as I waved; the train took you away

                     D                           G

Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone



I know that she's gone



I saw that building burned down, when I got to your front lawn

I thought that you'd be here, yeah, but you'd already gone

I went down to the river, you hid under the water

And then you held your breath, yeah, and then you disappeared



I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby

I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls

Don't know where she goes, I don't know where she goes
