WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT?
​
Em A G B Em
My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me, tell me where did you sleep last night
Em A G
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun don’t ever shine,
B Em
I would shiver the whole night through
Em A G B Em
my girl, my girl, where will you go, I’m going where the cold wind blows
Em A G
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun don’t ever shine
B Em
I would shiver the whole night through
Em A G B Em
my girl, my girl, disappearing again, tell me what did you do last night?
Em A G
in the ground, in the ground, where the sun don’t ever shine
B Em
I’ll be sleeping way past my end
Em A G B Em
her husband was a hardworking man, killed a mile and a half from here
Em A G B Em
his head was found in a driving wheel, and his body has never been found
Em A G B Em
my girl, my girl, I feel empty now, like a frozen cave in dark woods
Em A G B Em
I’m waiting for the funeral bell that will mark the place I once stood
Em A G B Em
My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me, tell me where did he sleep last night
Em A G
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun don’t ever shine,
B Em
I would shiver the whole night through
Em A G B Em
my girl, my girl, where will you go, I’m going where the cold wind blows
Em A G
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun don’t ever shine
B Em
I would shiver the whole night through
