E5
When I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
Take me out into my cornfields,
A5
Set me deep,
Lay me low
E5
When I've crossed over.
G9
And these fields will be
F#7(#9) B9 (#5)
My legacy
E7
When I'm gone.
MM…
E7
When I'm gone,
Come what may,
When I'm with my Lord in Heaven,
A7
I'll look down
At this place
E7
When I've crossed over.
G7
Let it stay somehow
F#7 B7#9
Like it is right now
E7
When I'm gone.
A7
Oh, when I was born,
E7
I had tomorrows stretched before me,
C#m7
But the yesterdays piled up
F#7 A7
From that day on.
E7
When I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
I will see the clouds below me,
A7
And my child
And his child
E7
When I've crossed over.
G7
Let them feel the pride
F#7(#9) B9 (#5)
That I've kept inside.
E7
When I'm gone.
A7
Oh, when I was born,
E7
I had tomorrows stretched before me,
C#m7 F#7
But the yesterdays piled up
A7
From that day on.
E7
When I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
I'll sing Glory, Hallelujah!
A9
For my work
A13
Will be done
E7
When I've crossed over.
G7
And I know you'll know
F#7
That I loved you so
E7
When I'm gone.
G7
And this love will be
F#7(#9) B9 (#5)
All that's left of me,
E7
When I'm gone.
