The Prom

The Prom:Del Shannon Album - Runaway With Del Shannon - released on BIG TOP and LONDON Records in 1961. (I got the lyrics off the original recording. When he did it live he changed the lyrics a bit in the BRIDGE. I always go with the original.) Intro: Ab Db #1. Db Bbm On my way to the senior prom, I saw a crowd all gathered round. Gb Ab I stopped the car, got out to see just what it could be. Db Bbm There lying near the crowd was a girl dressed in a gown. Gb Ab I walked up so I could see just who it could be. #2. Db Bbm Knelt down by her side..tears came into my eyes. Gb Ab Did there lie the one I love..the one I'd always love. Db Bbm Then she said, take this ring of mine, you are my love divine. Gb Ab Db And as our lips met, I know, I can't forget..the way Bbm my heart cried..the way it hurt inside. Gb Ab Db She's gone so far away..my lonely heart must pay. Bbm Db Bbm (She, she's gone..gone, she's gone.) Bridge:(Spoken:) Db Bbm There lies the one I love..the one I'll always love. Gb Ab If I had picked her up on time, her precious love would still be mine. Db Bbm The love, the love she gave to me will always stay with me. Gb Ab Til the day we meet, til the day you return to me. #3. Db Bbm Then my heart begins to cry, it hurts so deep inside. Gb Ab Db She's gone so far away..my lonely heart must pay.
