Chords

[Verse 1]
D                      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.
[Chorus]
D
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)?

G           D
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)?
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)?

Will you miss me when I'm gone?
[Verse 2]
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.
[Chorus]
D
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)?

Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)?
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)?

Will you miss me when I'm gone?
[Verse 3]
           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?
[Chorus]
D
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)?

Will you miss me when I'm gone?
[Verse 4]
            D
When these lips shall nevermore

         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?
[Chorus]
D
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)?

G           D
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)?
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)?
A                A7        D
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
