| C | Am | |
| There's no place in this world where I'll be | long 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 |
