Version 1[Verse 1] D D When death shall close these eyelids, G D and this heart shall cease to beat, and they lay me down to rest A A7 D in some flowery-bound retreat. [Chorus] D Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? G D Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? A A7 D Will you miss me when I'm gone? [Verse 2] D Perhaps you'll plant a flower G D on my poor, unworthy grave. Come and sit alone beside me, A A7 D when the roses nod and wave. [Chorus] D Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? G D Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? A A7 D Will you miss me when I'm gone? [Verse 3] D One sweet thought my soul shall cherish, G D when this fleeting life has flown, this sweet thought will cheer when dying, A A7 D will you miss me when I'm gone? [Chorus] D Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? G D Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? A A7 D Will you miss me when I'm gone? [Verse 4] D When these lips shall nevermore G D press a kiss upon thy brow, but lie cold and still in death, A A7 D will you love me then as now? [Chorus] D Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? G D Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)? A A7 D Will you miss me when I'm gone?
