Slaid Cleaves - Gone


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: FF  C majorC  G+G  A minorAm

            C majorC
I was going on twelve, she was just nine
G+G            A minorAm
Passing round her little valentines
               C majorC
With the devil dancing there in her eyes
G+G             A minorAm
Teasing, someday she would be my bride
     FF                 A minorAm
I said, ?You're just a little girl, now, go on?
    G+G
And as soon as I turned around
N.C.     A minorAm
There she was, gone

CHORUS:
       FF
There she was, gone
     C majorC
I started thinking 'bout her night and day
     G+G
I started singing a young love song
       A minorAm
There she was, gone


              C majorC
We're out of school now and she's my girl
    G+G           A minorAm
But her restless soul needs to see the world
                C majorC
I search for a promise in those dancing eyes
G+G           A minorAm
Would she settle down by my side
  FF                    A minorAm
She whispers in my ear, ?Babe, you can't hold on?
   G+G
So I opened up my arms
N.C.     A minorAm
There she was, gone

CHORUS:
       FF
There she was, gone
          C majorC
I thought about her night and day
   G+G
I was singing a lovesick song
       A minorAm
There she was, gone


               C majorC
Now we're Mom and Dad, with a girl of our own
G+G              A minorAm
Growing like a weed in this happy home
               C majorC
She's got that devil and her mama's blue eyes
  G+G        A minorAm
But no one realizes how time flies
     FF                  A minorAm
Until the house is still, no more little girl's song
G+G
One day we turned around
N.C.     A minorAm
There she was, gone


INTERLUDE: FF  C majorC  G+G  A minorAm


          C majorC
I'm an old man now, she's still my girl
G+G          A minorAm
Spends her days in a long gone world
               C majorC
There's a darker devil hiding in her eyes
G+G             A minorAm
Telling her she's someone else's wife
  FF                   A minorAm
She looks at me and says, ?Mister, what's wrong??
  G+G
And right before my eyes
N.C.     A minorAm
There she was, gone


CHORUS:
       FF
There she was, gone
   C majorC
I was searching for her every day
   G+G
I was singing a worried man's song
         A minorAm
But there she was, gone


CHORUS:
       FF
There she was, gone
    C majorC
I'll be thinking 'bout her all my days
    G+G
I'll be singing an old love song
       A minorAm
