Intro: D A D A
D D/F#
A bright sunrise will contradict
G D
the heavy fog that weighs you down
D D/F#
In spite of all the funeral songs
G D A
The birds will make their joyful sounds
G D/F#
You'll wonder why the earth still moves
Bm A G
You'll wonder how you'll carry on
G A D A
But you'll be okay on that first day when I'm gone
D D/F#
Dusk will come with fireflies
G D
and whippoorwill and crickets call
D D/F#
And every star will take its place
G F#m A
And silvery gown and purple shawl
G D/F#
You'll lie down in our big bed
Bm A G
Dread the dark and dread the dawn
G A D A
But you'll be alright on that first night when I'm gone
D/F# A G
You will reach for me in vain
A D
You'll be whispering my name
A G
As if sorrow were your friend
A
And this world so alien
D D/F#
But life will call with daffodils
G D
And morning glorious blue skies
D D/F#
You'll think of me some memory
G F#m A
And softly smile to your surprise
G D/F#
And even though you love me still
Bm A G
You will know where you belong
G A D
Just give it time we'll both be fine when I'm gone
