Thank you guys so much.
It's really so special to be here.
You guys are such a wonderful audience.
And in honor of playing this amazing place, we thought we'd play a Carter family song.
This is a song that the original Carter family, Sarah Maybell [N] and AP, first recorded a long time ago in the 20s.
It's called, Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone.
[Fm] It's one of our all-time [E] favorite songs.
If you're interested in country music and the Carter [G] family, there's a really great book with that title.
It's a biography about them and it's so fascinating just how AP Carter went [N] around all over the country
looking for and collecting all these old songs that people had passed from generation to generation.
I think that's just really a [D] beautiful thing how we found all these songs and then [C#] recorded them.
So now they exist and we can [B] all listen to them today.
[C#]
[B] Can we do it?
Yeah.
[F#]
When death shall close these [B] eyelids and this heart shall [F#] cease to beat
And they lay me down to rest [C#] in some flowery, berry [F#]
tree
Will
[B] [F#]
[C#]
you miss me when [B] [F#] I'm gone?
Perhaps you planted a flower [B] on my poor [F#] unworthy grave
Come sit along beside [B] me [C#] when I'm losing my [F#] way
Will [B] [F#]
you miss me
[C#] when [F#]
I'm gone?
Sweet thought my soul shall cherish [B] when this fleeting [F#] life has gone
This sweet thought will cheer when I'm [C#] here
Will you miss me [F#] when I'm gone?
When these lips shall nevermore [B] press a kiss upon thy brow
But like [C#] cold and [F#] still in death
[C#] Will you love me death [F#] now?
Will you miss me when [B] I'm gone?
