I got my tick et for the long way ’round,
two bot tle o’ whis key for the way.
And I sure would like some sweet com pa ny.
And I’m leav in’ to mor row; what do ya say?
When I’m gone,
when I’m gone,
you’re gon na miss me when I’m gone.
You’re gon na miss me by my hair, you’ll miss me ev ’ry where.
Oh, you’re gon na miss me when I’m gone.
When I’m gone,
when I’m gone,
you’re gon na miss me when I’m gone.
You’re gon na miss me by my walk, you’re gon na miss me by my talk.
Oh, you’re gon na miss me when I’m gone.
This page shows “Cups (When I'm Gone)” by Anna Kendrick in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 100 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
