    D      F#m              G         D

  D          F#m      G         D

The sun is cold, and the new day seems old

(CHORUS)
D
Since I lost my baby (Since I lost my baby)
    G
Oh, since I lost my baby (Oh, since I lost my baby)

The birds are singin’ and the children are playin’
There's plenty of work and the bosses are payin’
Not a sad word should a young heart be sayin’
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor

 Been looking everywhere (Ba--by) Baby   I really, really care!

Oh, determination is fading fast (oh yeah)

Good things are bad and what's happy is sad
