Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone

                  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.

    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.

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

    this sweet thought will cheer when dying,

    will you miss me when I'm gone.

    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.
