Intro: G

I've been sinkin' l^Gow, I can't find my baby I've been sinkin' l^Dow, I can't find my ^Gbaby I've been high and ^Clow, faces of these ^Gstone walls Don't know where she ^Dgoes, but I know that she's ^Ggone

Her skin is ^Gdark and softer than a baby's When she sings to ^Dme her voice is sweet as ^Gcandy Her lips are rose ^Cred, as sweet as cheery ^Gwine Her eyes are green and ^Dblue, they can't make up their ^Gmind

I've been sinkin' ^Glow, I can't find my baby I've been sinkin' ^Dlow, I can't find my ^Gbaby I've been high and ^Clow, faces of these ^Gstone walls Don't know where she ^Dgoes, but I know that she's ^Ggone

Went down to the ^Gstation, I thought that I would find you With your suit case on the ^Dground, I knew I was right ^Gbehind you, yeah As the train doors ^Cclosed I saw you through the ^Gwindow You watched me as I ^Dwaved; the train took you ^Gaway

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
