When Im Gone

G  D  G

[Verse]
G     C          G
I am a man half a century from home
           C                             G       Em
These calloused hands served their master well
Em
Dear nothing is the matter
C                                        G
We plow our feilds and scatter in the wind
           D      G
To end our days alone
               C           G
I remember crawling into Grandma's open arms
                   C               G       Em
And hiding in the blanket by her feet
Em
She said "We're all each other's neighbors
 C                                  G
Searching for a saviour to lead us home
          D      G
On the day we leave.

[Chorus]
        C       G
When I'm gone, don't you think of me
                                D
Don't you place a rose upon my stone
         G
Promise me you'll never weep
          C          G
Tell the chldren I'm asleep
                                         D      G
And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my jorney home

[Verse]
            C              G
Won't you bury me in the Carolina clay
            C              G      Em
It seeped into my fingers anyway
                                 C
This ground is someting hallow, bury me shallow
G                       D    G
Let me feel the tapping of the rain
              C                                G
We'll never know the place we all would go from here
           C
Be still, my soul
            G        Em
Bring the hour near
Em
We see the world in flashes
C                    G
Ashes all to ashes, dust to dust
           D      G
We've come to dissapear

[Chorus]
        C       G
When I'm gone, don't you think of me
                                D
Don't you place a rose upon my stone
G
Promise me you'll never weep
             C             G
Tell the chldren I'm asleep
                                            D      G
And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my jorney home
                                            D      G
And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my jorney home
