When I’m Gone

C                                           Am
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
    Dm                              G
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
    C                 G                Am
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
     Dm                 G               C
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here


    C                               Am
And I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
        Dm                            G
All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
   C         G                 Am
My pen won't pour a lyric line when I'm gone
     Dm                 G               C
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here


    C                           Am
And I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone
    Dm                          G
And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
C        G              Am
Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
     Dm                 G               C
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here


    C                           Am
And I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone
    Dm                           G
And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
   C               G                   Am
Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
     Dm                 G               C
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here


    C                       Am
Won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
        Dm                                G
And the evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone
 C               G               Am
Can't be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone
     Dm                 G               C
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here


       C                         Am
All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
        Dm                              G
And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone
C            G             Am
Can't add my name into the fight when I'm gone
     Dm                 G               C
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here


    C                          Am
And I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
    Dm                              G
And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone
C          G               Am
Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
     Dm                 G               C
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

C                                           Am
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
    Dm                              G
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
    C                 G                Am
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
     Dm                 G               Am          G      
So I guess I'll have to do it, I guess I'll have to do it, 
Dm                 G               C
guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
