And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone

Em A D
10
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
11
And I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
12
All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
13
My pen won't pour out a lyric line when I'm gone
14
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
15
And I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone
16
And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
17
Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
18
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
19
And I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone
20
And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
21
Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
22
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
23
Won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
24
And the evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone
25
Can't be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone
26
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
27
All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
28
And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone
29
Can't add my name into the fight while I'm gone
30
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
31
And I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
32
And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone
33
Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
34
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
