Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone(Chords)

	        D 
    When death shall close these eyelids, 
                    G                             D 
    and this heart shall cease to beat, 

    and they lay me down to rest 
    A                          A7          D 
    in some flowery-bound retreat. 

   D

Will you miss me when I'm gone ? 

            D 
    Perhaps you'll plant a flower 
                 G                      D 
    on my poor, unworthy grave. 

    Come and sit alone beside me, 
         A                   A7           D 
    when the roses nod and wave.

                          D 
    One sweet thought my soul shall cherish, 
                      G                      D 
    when this fleeting life has flown, 

    this sweet thought will cheer when dying, 
     A                           A7         D 
    will you miss me when I'm gone.

                         D 
    When these lips shall never more 
                   G                    D 
    press a kiss upon thy brow, 

    but lie cold and still in death, 
      A                        A7        D 
    will you love me then as now.
