Introduction:
Em
Look into the yard
Eb+ G C#º
All the flowers find it hard to climb
Em
See, the weeds have won
Eb+ G
Take the water and the sun
C#º C
Then it finds me in the clear
C#º
Now you can see
C C#º
The worst of days has got the best of me
Em Eb+
So lay me down to sleep
G C#º
And pray my soul to keep me
C C#º
Moving on
C C#º
When I'm gone
Em
You take me in
Eb+ G C#º
With the color of my skin turned gray
Em
Doctor, will you let us know
Eb+ G C#º
Should we keep or let him go today
C C#º
We'll bring him home for surgery
C
With a tweezer and a match
C#º
Kill tick and flea
Em Eb+
So lay me down to sleep
G C#º
And pray my soul to keep me
C C#º
Moving on
C C#º
When I'm gone
Em Eb+
When all is said and done
G C#º C C#º
I never will forget you when I'm gone
C C#º
Carry on
Em
Whisper over me
Eb+ G C#º
I can rest in peace of mind
Em
My eyes are wide
Eb+ G C#º
But still dark inside this time
C
I have it all
C#º
In front of me
C
Such a simple world
C#º
I could never see
C
But you gave it all
C#º
For just one day
C
I found a reason to live
C#º
And pass away
Em Eb+
So lay me down to sleep
G C#º
And pray my soul to keep me
C C#º
Moving on
C C#º
When I'm gone
Em Eb+
When all is said and done
G C#º C C#º
I never will forget you when I'm gone
C C#º
And you carry on
C C#º
When I'm gone
C C#º
And you're moving on
