Transcribed by; Verne Garrison
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of: A
Chorus:
A D
Hold back the rushing minutes, make the wind lay still
A E A
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hills
D
Dry all the rain-drops, hold back the sun
E A
My world has ended, my baby's gone
A D
The milkman whistles softly, as he comes up to my door
A E A
The mailman brings a letter, just like he did before
D
Seems so busy, all day long, as though there's nothing wrong
E A
They don't know my world has ended, my baby's gone
Chorus:
I wake up in the night
And realize you're gone
And then I toss upon my bed
And wait for day to come
I try to tell my lonely heart
It must go on alone
But the world has ended
My Baby's Gone
