<< Back to The Carter Family Song List

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?
