Verse 1:

C
I burned up ev'ry letter
D7                        B7
And thought that I'd feel better
C       D7
I put a-way her
G7      C   F7
picture too

C
Sent back each little present
D7                   B7
And though it wasn't pleasant
C             D7
It seemed the wisest
G7       C  C7
thing to do

B7              Gdim
I've done ev'ry-thing
  B7        Em  B7Em
I could and yet
   D7
It isn't very easy to
    G7  G+
For-get

Chorus 1:

  C
I wonder where my
E7         F     A7
baby is to-night
  Dm
I wonder how my
D7         G7
baby is to-night

  C      B7          G9
I wonder where she's gone
    C         B7      G9
And how she's getting on
  C
I wonder why my
D7           G7
baby doesn't write

   C
If she came back I
E7              F  A7
wonder what I'd do
  Dm
I wonder did she
D7            G7
find somebody new

    C      B7       G9
She didn't treat me fair
    C        Bb        A7
And though I shouldn't care
  Dm
I wonder where my
G7         C     EbdimDmG7
baby is to-night

Verse 2:

C
I know she said forget me
D7                  B7
And so I wish she'd let me
C            D7
Why does she haunt me
G7        C    F7
night and day?

C
Each day I make my mind up
D7               B7
But in the end I wind up
C             D7
Just wond'rin why she
G7     C   C7
went a-way

B7                Gdim
How I've tried to love
     B7   Em  B7Em
Some-body new
    D7
But each one's just someone
            G7 G+
To say this to

Chorus 2:

  C              E7
I wonder does my baby do the
F           A7
Charleston, Charleston
  Dm            D7
I wonder who is teaching her the
G7          G7
Charleston, Charleston

C       B7      G9
While I sit and sigh,
    C         B7       G9
The time goes draggin' by
    C                D7
I'd like to kill the guy who wrote
    G7          G+
The Charleston, Charleston

   C               E7
We parted 'cause I couldn't do the
F           A7
Charleston, Charleston
      Dm               D7
She'd still be here if I could do the
G7          G7
Charleston, Charleston

    C      B7      G9
I'm takin' lessons now,
     C       Bb        A7
I'll win her back some-how
  Dm
I wonder where my
G7         C
baby is to-night
