WHEN I’M GOOD AND GONE

Verse:
       D MajorD         A augmentedA
I hope they find my King James Bible
G+G             D MajorD           A augmentedA
Worn around the edges and opened to the Book of John
         D MajorD        A augmentedA
And my favorite picture we made together
       G+G            A augmentedA
Down by Mill Creek when we were just twenty-one

Verse:
       G+G            A augmentedA
I hope it’s layin’ by your old love letters
        D MajorD
The ones that read just like a song
      E minorEm         A augmentedA
I hope they find more good than bad
          D MajorD
When I’m good and gone

Verse:
      D MajorD            A augmentedA
I hope our children will make good neighbors
         G+G          D MajorD  A augmentedA
The kind you can count on when you’re down
          D MajorD          A augmentedA
And I hope they’ll teach their sons and daughters
       G+G            A augmentedA
The things I taught ‘em when I’m not around

Verse:
      G+G           A augmentedA   D MajorD
I hope the sun shines the day they lay me
   G 
And there’s lots of flowers and that line of friends is long
       E minorEm          A augmentedA
‘Cause they found more good than bad
          D MajorD
When I’m good and gone

Verse:
    E minorEm              A augmentedA
I ain’t leavin’ here today as far as I can see
    B minorBm       A augmentedA        G+G
I got a list of things I plan on gettin’ to
    E minorEm                  A augmentedA
Oh, but how and when I leave this world ain’t up to me
   B minorBm          A augmentedA        G+G
Oh, Lord You’ll make that call and when You do

Verse:
      E minorEm         A augmentedA
I hope You find more good than bad
         B minorBm G+G
When I’m good and gone
      E minorEm         A augmentedA
I hope You find more good than bad
        D MajorD          A augmentedA
And I hope they find my King James Bible
         G+G                D MajorD
Worn around the edges and opened to the Book of John
