A
Said I was born in a post-romantic age
A                                    E
I said I was born in a post-romantic age
        A                             D  
I don?t paint or compose cause that's two things I don?t do no more
A               E             A
I was born in a post romantic age

A 
I used to be a big old coal steel rail
A                                   E
I used to be a big old coal steel rail
   A                             D
I?d paint the sky all thick and black and I roll that thunder on down the track
A               E             A
I used to be a big old coal steel rail


Chorus:
A
You?re Gonna miss me when I?m gone
A                             E
You?re Gonna miss me when I?m gone
A                     D
You?re Gonna miss the way I said your name
A            E                A 
You?re Gonna miss me when I?m gone


Said I?d buy you a coat and a new red hat
Well I'd buy you a coat and a new red hat
Said I?d put you in the finest cars with all the men who smoke cigars
I?d buy you a coat and a new red hat

Said High-class lady so debonair
Well High-class lady so debonair
Well all the ones I?ve never met and every other last one who ain?t gone yet
High-class lady so debonair

Chorus

Solo

Otis Redding sang the blues sometimes
Otis Redding sang the blues sometimes
There?s a hole down in my soul that couldn?t be filled by a thousand more
Otis Redding sang the blues sometimes


Chorus 2:
You?re Gonna miss me when I?m gone
You?re Gonna miss me when I?m gone
You?re Gonna miss the way I sang your song
You?re Gonna miss me when I?m gone
