INTRO: G C G C
Whisper to me when I'm coming back home
F
Will you miss me, miss me, miss me when I'm gone
G
Another night when the cold wind moans
F C Am G F
With your long black veil, crying over my bones
C
On your face was a beauty deep
F
That the grand brush of time just could not sweep
G
Those laughing eyes like a river ran
F C Am G F Fm
From the heart of Richmond to the holy land
CHORUS:
C F
You're going far down the road
C E
And these tears must be shed
Am G D
But life is only growing, moving swiftly like a storm
F Fm
For to return here again
C
For to return here again
In this wild and wicked place
F
Sorrows and fears we can't escape
G
Clinch Mountain girl won't you wait for me
F C Am G F Fm
Bury me beneath the willow tree
CHORUS:
C F
You're going far down the road
C E
And these tears must be shed
Am G D
But life is only growing, moving swiftly like a storm
F Fm
For to return here again
C
For to return here again
Whisper to me when I'm coming back home
F
Will you miss me, miss me, miss me when I'm gone
G
Another night when the cold wind moans
F C Am G F
With your long black veil, crying over my bones
