WHEN I'M GONE

(Phil Ochs)



(CDE-) CGCAm/FG/CAm/FGC



There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone

And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone

You won't find me singing on this song when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here



I wont feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone

All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone

My pen won't pour a lyric line when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here



And I won't breath the brandy air when I'm gone

I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone

Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here



I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone

I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone

Can't say who's afraid and who's to blame when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here



BREAK



I won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone

All the evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone

Cant be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here



All my days wont be dances of delight when I'm gone

And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone

Cant add my name into the fight when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here



I wont be laughing at the lies when I'm gone

And I cant question how or when or why when I'm gone

I can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here



There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone

And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone

You won't find me singing on this song when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
