When I'm Gone(Chords)

	        WHEN I'M GONE by Phil Ochs 
 
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                                 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 
 
And I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone 
All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone 
My pen won't pour out a lyric line when I'm gone 
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here 
 
And I won't breathe the brandy air when I'm gone 
And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone 
Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone 
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here 
 
And I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone 
And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone 
There's nothing I can lose or I can gain when I'm gone 
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here 
 
Won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone 
And the evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone 
Can't be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone 
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here 
 
All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone 
And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone 
Can't add my name into the fight when I'm gone 
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here 
 
And I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone 
And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone 
Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone 
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
