(Verse 1) 
 
C          Cmaj7           F 
He was the kind of guy who loves, 
G 
so unselfishly, 
C       C/E                   F 
And everyone could see what a prize he was, 
G            F   G         Em 
Everyone but me, I must be blind, 
Am            Dm 
I must be the kind who don't know what they have, 
Fm                G 
til they're all alone and sad, 
 
(Chorus) 
 
C           
There goes my baby,     
C                   A7 
Like the sun fallin out of the clear blue sky, 
Dm                Fm 
There goes my baby,         
               G 
And it's gonna be a cold hard night, 
C   
Now that I finally see,  
Bb                   F                Ab 
How I need him to be, right here by my side, 
C/G           Am   Fm        G      C - G 
There goes my baby, Bye bye baby goodbye, 
 
(verse 2) 
How could I have a love so fine 
And not know what it's worth 
Maybe this empty heart he left behind 
Is all that I deserve 
What kind of fool finds a perfect jewel 
And can't see how it shines 
Till she's all alone and crying 
 
   
 
(bridge) 
 
Ab 
How I wish I could,   
Fm             C          C-B-Bb-A 
hold him in my arms and say, 
Ab                  Fm  
This time I'm gonna treat him right,  
 Dm            G 
but it's too late, 
 
 
(Chorus) 
 
C           
There goes my baby,     
C                   A7 
Like the sun fallin out of the clear blue sky, 
Dm                Fm 
There goes my baby,         
               G 
And it's gonna be a cold hard night, 
C   
Now that I finally see,  
Bb                   F                Ab 
How I need him to be, right here by my side, 
C/G           Am   Fm        G      C - G 
There goes my baby, Bye bye baby goodbye,   
 
(ending lyrics) 
 
Fm        G      C    Fm        G      C 
Bye bye baby goodbye, Bye bye baby goodbye, 
Fm        Ab     C 
Bye bye baby goodbye,
