E When death shall close these eyelids A E And this heart shall cease to beat And they lay me down to rest B7 In a flowery bound retreat Chorus: E Will you miss me? (miss me when I'm gone) A E Will you miss me? (miss me when I'm gone) E Will you miss me? (miss me when I'm gone) B7 E Will you miss me when I'm gone? Verse: Perhaps you'll plant a flower upon my poor unworthy grave and you'll sit along beside me when the roses nod and wave Chorus Verse: One sweet thought my soul shall cherish when this fleeting life has flown. This sweet thought will cheer when dying. Will you miss me when I'm gone? When these lips shall never more press a kiss upon thy brow. But lie cold and still in death Will you love me then as now? Chorus
