Chords for Sarah Lee Guthrie - When I'm Gone

For me, it seemed like a whole bunch of weird music all _ _ _ _ _ night. _
One of my favorite weird persons still comes to our house actually is Grandpa Blackberry.
He was a _ _ _ _ _ weeb. _ _
At that time I remember back then he was traveling around in his Winnebago and he would come to our house and he would park his Winnebago right next to my mom's teepees.
Because my mom had teeth.
_ Naturally. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Ceremonies.
The _ _ _ _ _
teepee during the ceremony or anything like that. _
I remember one particular night, it was a school night and mom was pretty cool about _ _ it.
And I got in there and I was cozyed up next to the fire and everything.
And Randall and Jack turns to me and he says, slowly, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ school tomorrow.
_ Right.
Well how about if I come to your school tomorrow and I could tell _ _ your_
Wouldn't that be great?
I said no.
_ Only _ _ _ _ _ _ six hours long. _ _ _ _
_ _ Eight years old or something. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ And I started to appreciate songs and the stories and the people. _ _ _
[N] The things about being on the road with dad these days is that he gets to, well, he clears some things up from my childhood.

_ [B] _ Visit some of his songs and man I just fell in love. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ There's no place in this world where [G#m] I'll belong when I'm gone.
[C#m] And I won't know the right [F#] from the wrong when I'm gone.
_ [B] And you won't find me playing a [G#m] song when I'm gone.
So [C#m] I guess I'll [F#m] have to do [B] while I'm here. _ _
And I won't feel the flow [G#m] of the time when I'm gone.
[C#m] All the pleasures of love will not [F#] be mine when I'm gone.
[B] My pen [D#m] won't bore a leer [G#m] _ when I'm gone.
So [C#] I guess I'll [F#m] have to do while [B] I'm here. _ _ _
And I won't breathe the [G#m] bracing air when I'm gone.
[C#] And I can't [C#m] even worry about [F#] my cares when I'm gone.
[B] And I won't be asked to do [G#m] much care when I'm gone.
So [C#] I guess I'll [F#] have to do while [B] I'm here. _ _
And I won't be run from [G#m] the rain. _ _ _
[C#m] And I can't even suffer from [F#] the pain when I'm gone.
[B] I can't say who's to praise and [G#m] who's to blame when I'm gone.
So [C#] I guess I'll [F#] have to do while [B] I'm here. _
And I won't see the golden of the [G#m] sun when I'm gone.
[C#m] All my evenings and mornings [F#] will be warm when I'm gone.
_ [B] I can't be singing [A#]
louder than [G#m] the mountains when I'm gone.
[C#m] So I guess [F#] I'll have to do while [B] I'm here. _ _
All my days won't be dainty [G#m] but delight when I'm gone.
[C#m] And the sands will be shifting [F#] from my sight when I'm gone.
[B] I can't add my name to [G#m] the fight when I'm gone.
[C#m] So I guess I'll have [F#] to do [B] while I'm here. _ _
_ _ _ I won't be laughing at [G#m] the lies when I'm gone.
And [C#m] I can't question how or [F#] when or why when I'm gone.
[B] I can't live proud enough [G#m] to die when I'm gone.
So [C#] I guess I'll [F#] have to do [B] while I'm here. _
_ _ Oh, there's no place in this world [G#] where I'll belong when I'm gone.
[C#] And I won't [C#m] know the right from [F#] the wrong when I'm gone.
[B] And you won't [A#] find me singing on [G#m] this song when I'm gone.
[C#] So I guess I'll [F#] have to do.
_ [C#m] I guess I'll [F#] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [F#] have to do it while [B] I'm here. _ _ _ _
