Intro: G  C  G  C 


Whisper to me when I'm coming back home 
         F 
Will you miss me, miss me, miss me when I'm gone 
        G 
Another night when the cold wind moans 
          F    C     Am           G       F 
With your long black veil, crying over my bones 


        C 
On your face was a beauty deep 
         F 
That the grand brush of time just could not sweep 
               G 
Those laughing eyes like a river ran 
         F     C  Am              G    F       Fm 
From the heart of Richmond to the holy land 

 
                          C       F 
You're going far down the road 
                        C       E 
And these tears must be shed 
                 Am              G              D 
But life is only growing, moving swiftly like a storm 
                    F       Fm 
For to return here again 
                    C 
For to return here again 



In this wild and wicked place 
            F 
Sorrows and fears we can't escape 
                 G 
Clench not with her won't you wait for me 
        F   C    Am     G      F       Fm 
Bowing evening is the willow tree 


                          C       F 
You're going far down the road 
                        C       E 
And these tears must be shed 
                 Am              G              D 
But life is only growing, moving swiftly like a storm 
                    F       Fm 
For to return here again 
                    C 
For to return here again 



Whisper to me when I'm coming back home 
         F 
Will you miss me, miss me, miss me when I'm gone 
        G 
Another night when the cold wind moans 
          F    C     Am           G       F 
With your long black veil, crying over my bones
