When I'm Gone — Beginner Piano Tutorial

A bright (E)sun rise will con tra dict the heav y fog that weighs you down. In spite of all the fu n’ral songs, the birds will make their joy ful (E)sounds. You’ll won der why the earth still (E)moves, you’ll won der how you’ll car ry on. But you’ll be o kay on that first day when I’m gone. Dusk (E)will come with fi re flies, and whip poor (A)will and crick (E)ets call. And ev ’ry star will take its place in sil v’ry gown and pur (G#m)ple shawl. You’ll lie down in our big bed, dread the dark and dread the dawn. But you’ll be al right on that first night when I’m gone. (E)You will reach for me in vain, you’ll be whis per ing my name, as if sor row were your friend and this world so a li (B7)en. But life will (E)call with daf fo (Esus2)dils and morn ing (A)glo ri ous blue skies. You’ll think of me; some mem o ry, and soft ly smile to your sur prise. And e ven though you love me still, you will know where you be long. Just give it time; we’ll both be (Asus2)fine (CN.C.)when I’m (E)gone.
