Intro: F   C   G   Am 

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


              F 
There she was, gone 
          C 
I started thinking 'bout her night and day 
          G 
I started singing a young love song 
              Am 
There she was, gone 


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

 
              F 
There she was, gone 
                    C 
I thought about her night and day 
      G 
I was singing a lovesick song 
              Am 
There she was, gone 


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


INTERLUDE: F   C   G   Am 


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

 
              F 
There she was, gone 
      C 
I was searching for her every day 
      G 
I was singing a worried man's song 
                  Am 
But there she was, gone 

              F 
There she was, gone 
        C 
I'll be thinking 'bout her all my days 
        G 
I'll be singing an old love song 
              Am 
There she was, gone
