Last Kiss Chords By Pearl Jam
G
Oh, where,
Em
oh, where can my baby be?
C D
The Lord took her away from me
G
She’s gone to Heaven
Em
so I got to be good
C
So I can see my baby when
D G
I leave this world
G
We were out on
Em
a date in my daddy’s car
C D
We hadn’t driven very far

There in the road,
Em
straight ahead

A car was stalled,

the engine was dead

I couldn’t stop,

so I swerved to the right

I’ll never forget

the sound that night

The screamin’ tires,

the bustin’ glass

The painful scream that

I heard last

oh, where can my baby be?

The Lord took her away from me
G
She’s gone to Heaven,
Em
so I got to be good
C
So I can see my baby when
D G
I leave this world
G
When I woke up,
Em
the rain was pourin’ down
C
There were people standing
D
all around
G
Something warm falling
Em
through my eyes
C
But somehow I found
D
my baby that night
G
I lifted her head,
Em
she looked at me and said
C
“Hold me, darling,
D
just a little while”
G
I held her close,
Em
I kissed her our last kiss
C
I found the love that
D
I knew I’d miss
G
Well, now she’s gone,
Em
even though I hold her tight
C
I lost my love,
D G
my life that night
G
Oh, where,
Em
oh where can my baby be?

The Lord took her

away from me

She’s gone to Heaven,

I leave this world
