    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.

 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 ?

        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.

 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 ?

                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.

 D

                D
    When these lips shall never more
             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.

 D
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)?
