My Babys Gone chords

Elvis Costello

Key: 

Simplify chords 

  			D 
 Hold back the rushing minutes 
G 
 Make the wind lie still 
A 
 Don't let the moonlight shine 
   G               D 
Across the lonely hill 
D 
 Dry all the raindrops 
G 
 And hold back the sun 
A 
 My world has ended 
           D 
My baby's gone 

 A 
Milkman whistles softly 
       G              D 
As he comes up to my door 
     A 
The mailman brings the letters by 
 G                  D 
Just like he did before 
  D 
They seem so busy all day long 
                            G 
As though there's nothing wrong, 
             A             
Don't they know the world has ended 
           D             
My baby's gone 


I wake up sometimes 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 it cries the world has ended 
My baby's gone 

Chorus 
             A 
Don't they know the world has ended 
           D    A D 
My baby's gone
