WHEN I’M GOOD AND GONE
[Verse]
D A
I hope they find my King James Bible
G D A
Worn around the edges and opened to the Book of John
D A
And my favorite picture we made together
G A
Down by Mill Creek when we were just twenty-one
[Verse]
G A
I hope it’s layin’ by your old love letters
D
The ones that read just like a song
Em A
I hope they find more good than bad
D
When I’m good and gone
[Verse]
D A
I hope our children will make good neighbors
G D A
The kind you can count on when you’re down
D A
And I hope they’ll teach their sons and daughters
G A
The things I taught ‘em when I’m not around
[Verse]
G A D
I hope the sun shines the day they lay me
G
And there’s lots of flowers and that line of friends is long
Em A
‘Cause they found more good than bad
D
When I’m good and gone
[Verse]

I ain’t leavin’ here today as far as I can see
Bm A G
I got a list of things I plan on gettin’ to

Oh, but how and when I leave this world ain’t up to me

Oh, Lord You’ll make that call and when You do
