Key: D Intro: D Verse 1: D A D This ole world is a funny ole place G D We're always running the same old race G D You work and slave to try to ease your mind A D The very things you strive for, you gotta leave behind Verse 2: D What I know so far, near as I can tell G D Heaven's here on earth and the soul is it G D Just the air we're given and the stars above A D You can measure your riches by the ones you love
Chorus: G D When I say goodbye, you can bet I'm gone Bm A When a lonesome freight-train whistle blows its weary song G D When I see the light of a brand new dawn A D When I say goodbye, you can bet I'm gone [Guitar Solo] G D Bm A G D A D Verse 3: D A D When I die, don't toll no bells G D Just put my ashes in some shotgun shells G D Get all of my friends some windy day A D To say goodbye and watch me blow away Verse 4: D A D When the wind dies down and the day gets late G D I'll be all scattered all over the state G D And you know which state I'm talking about A D The place I love and I can't live without [Out-Chorus] G D When I say goodbye, you can bet I'm gone Bm A When a lonesome freight-train whistle blows its weary song G D When I see the light of a brand new dawn A D When I say goodbye, you can bet I'm gone G D When I say goodbye, you can bet I'm gone Bm A When a lonesome freight-train whistle blows its weary song G D When I see the light of a brand new dawn A D When I say goodbye, you can bet I'm gone D A D When I say goodbye
