Slaid Cleaves - Gone
CAPO: 3rd Fret
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 Am
I said, “You're just a little girl, 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 Am
She whispers in my ear, “Babe, you 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 Am
Until the house is still, no more 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 Am
She looks at me and says, “Mister, 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
