When I'm Gone Joey + Rory
A bright sunrise will contradict
The heavy [F]fog that weighs you [C]down.
[C]In spite of all the funeral songs,
The birds will [F]make their joyful [C]sounds.
You'll wonder [F]why the Earth still [C]moves.
You'll wonder [F]how you'll carry [Am]on.[G] [F]
But you'll be [C]okay on that first [G]day when I'm [C]gone.
[C]Dusk will come with fireflies and whipoor[F]will and crickets [C]call.
[C]And every star will take it's place
In silv'ry [F]gown and purple [C]shawl
You'll lie [F]down in our big [C]bed
Dread the [F]dark and dread the [C]dawn.[G] [F]
But you'll be al[Am]right on that first [G]night when I'm [C]gone.
You will [G]reach for me in [F]vain.
You'll be [G]whispering my [C]name
As if [G]sorrow were your [F]friend
And this [C]world so al[Am]ien[F]
But [C]life will call with daffodils
And morning [F]glorious blue [C]skies.
[C]You'll think of me--some memory
And softly [F]smile to your surp[C]ris[G]e.
And [F]even though you love me [C]still, [F]you will know where you be[C]long[G].[F]
Just give it [Am]time. We'll both be [G]fine when I'm [C]gone
