[Verse]
C
 Oooh I love you, baby
   F
I love you night and day
C                                F
 When I leave you, baby, don't cry the night away
C                                F
 When I die, don't you write no words upon my tomb
   C
I don't believe I want to leave
   F
No epitaph of doom


[Chorus]
C       G       Am               F
Ooh ooh ooh - when I'm dead and gone
         C                G           C    F   G
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
C       G       Am               F
Ooh ooh ooh - when I'm dead and gone
       C              G
Don't want nobody to mourn
            F     C
Beside my grave


[Verse]
C
 Old Mama Linda
      F
She's out to get my hide
C                             F
 She's got a shotgun and her daughter by her side
C
 Hey there, ladies
F
 John son's free
  C
Who's got the love, who's got enough
    F
To keep a man like me


[Chorus]
C       G       Am               F
Ooh ooh ooh - when I'm dead and gone
         C                G           C    F   G
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
C       G       Am               F
Ooh ooh ooh - when I'm dead and gone
       C              G
Don't want nobody to mourn
            F     C
Beside my grave

Beside my grave
