Bb F F C
(SAME CHORDS UNTIL LAST CHORUS)
[Chorus]
Bb F F C
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
[Verse 1]
Bb F
And I'm walking in the sunshine with my head held high
F C
Got my family together, got this big blue sky
Bb F
And I'll go one direction with my radio on
F C
Recieving what I need to know, digesting wisdom
Bb F
I can fly like an eagle from the ridges above
F C
Decend upon the people with the power of my love
Bb F
Cause I believe in truth and I believe in love
F C
And I believe we are protected from the spirits above
[Chorus]
Bb F F C
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
[Verse 2]
Bb F
And I see a sister walking with her radio on
F C
She got flowers in her hair and she's singing this song
Bb F
I don't know sometimes we're coming and sometimes we're going
F C
Sometimes we're in the middle of the great unknown
Bb F
Either way respect for momma and her seven cubs
F C
And the staunch preparation for the things to come
Bb F
I will go one direction with my radio on
F C
I'll keep it nice and simple, sending lots of love
[Chorus] (x2)
Bb F F C
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
Bb F F C
Comin' home (?) please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone, please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
