Endless Sleep:Jody Reynolds.
#5 in 1958. (This song was banned from
many radio stations because of the lyrics.
Allegedly some people felt it would induce teens to commit
suicide. It was, and still is, a great rock anthem.KK)

#1.
Eb
The night was black, rain fallin' down,
                          Bb7      Eb
Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around,

Traced her footsteps down to the shore,
                     Bb7  Eb
�fraid she's gone forever more.
  Ab
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say,
Eb          Eb   Eb6  Bb7  Eb
I took your baby from you away.
Ab              Ab
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep,
Eb                  Eb6   Bb7     Eb
Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep.

#2.***(Chords are same for other verses.)***

Why did we quarrel, why did we fight?

Why did I leave her alone tonight?

That's why her footsteps ran into the sea,

That's why my baby has gone from me.

I looked at the sea and it seemed to say,

I took your baby from you away.

I heard a voice cryin' in the deep,

Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep.

#3.

Ran in the water, heart full of fear,

There in the breakers I saw her near.

Reached for my darlin', held her to me,

Stole her away from the angry sea.

I looked at the sea and it seemed to say,

You took your baby from me away.

My heart cried out she's mine to keep,

I saved my baby from an endless sleep.

ADD:
Bb7     Eb
Endless sleep(x5)

A fabulous fifties hit from Kraziekhat.
