The Prom:Del Shannon Album - Runaway With Del Shannon - released on BIG TOP and LONDON Records in 1961. (I got the lyrics off the original recording. When he did it live he changed the lyrics a bit in the BRIDGE. I always go with the original.) INTRO: Ab Db #1.

^DbOn my way to the senior prom, I ^Bbmsaw a crowd all gathered round. I ^Gbstopped the car, got out to see ^Abjust what

it could be.

^DbThere lying near the crowd ^Bbmwas a girl dressed in a gown. I ^Gbwalked up so I could see ^Abjust who it could be.

#2.

^DbKnelt down by her side..^Bbmtears came into my eyes. ^GbDid there lie the one I love..^Abthe one I'd always love. ^DbThen she said, take this ring of mine, ^Bbmyou are my

love divine.

^GbAnd as our lips met, I ^Abknow, I can't forget..the ^Dbway my heart cried..the ^Bbmway it hurt inside. ^GbShe's gone so far away..^Abmy lonely heart must ^Dbpay. (She, ^Bbmshe's gone..^Dbgone, she's ^Bbmgone.)

BRIDGE:(Spoken:)

^DbThere lies the one I love..^Bbmthe one I'll always love. ^GbIf I had picked her up on time, her ^Abprecious love

would still be mine.

^DbThe love, the love she gave to me ^Bbmwill always stay with me. ^GbTil the day we meet, til the day you re^Abturn to me.

#3.

^DbThen my heart begins to cry, ^Bbmit hurts so deep inside. ^GbShe's gone so far away..^Abmy lonely heart must ^Dbpay.

OUTRO:

(She, ^Bbmshe's gone..^Dbgone, she's ^Bbmgone.) (She, ^Bbmshe's gone..^Dbgone, she's ^Bbmgone.)(Fade.)

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
