When Im Gone

(início)

Intro: D A D A
           D                D/F#
A bright sunrise will contradict
          G                      D
the heavy fog that weighs you down
            D                 D/F#
In spite of all the funeral songs
            G                   D        A
The birds will make their joyful sounds
G                                  D/F#
You'll wonder why the earth still moves
                              Bm   A  G
You'll wonder how you'll carry on
                 G              A                D    A
But you'll be okay on that first day when I'm gone
     D                   D/F#
Dusk will come with fireflies
           G                  D
and whippoorwill and crickets call
          D                    D/F#
And every star will take its place
            G                F#m     A
And silvery gown and purple shawl
G                           D/F#
You'll lie down in our big bed
                              Bm   A  G
Dread the dark and dread the dawn
                 G                 A                 D    A
But you'll be alright on that first night when I'm gone
D/F#      A               G
You will reach for me in vain
         A                D
You'll be whispering my name
     A                  G
As if sorrow were your friend
              A
And this world so alien
           D                 D/F#
But life will call with daffodils
           G               D
And morning glorious blue skies
        D                 D/F#
You'll think of me some memory
       G                   F#m    A
And softly smile to your surprise
G                             D/F#
And even though you love me still
                          Bm   A  G
You will know where you belong
                 G               A             D
Just give it time we'll both be fine when I'm gone
