I love you night and day. When I leave you baby. Don't cry the night away. When I die don't you write. No words upon my tomb. I don't believe I want to leave no epitaph of doom. Oh oh oh oh. When I'm dead and gone I want to leave some happy woman living on. Oh oh oh oh. When I'm dead and gone don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave. (note – at the end of the first chorus couplet, G->A progression is much quicker than other changes – same as in the outro) Oh my Melinda, she's out to get my hide. She's got a shotgun and her daughter by her side. Hey there ladies. Johnson's free. Who's got the love, who's got enough to keep a man like me? Oh oh oh oh. When I'm dead and gone I want to leave some happy woman living on. Oh oh oh oh. When I'm dead and gone Don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave. Instrumental / solo (to play this, you need a kazoo and to forget how to play the guitar – otherwise, twiddling on the D pentatonic suffices) Oh oh oh oh. When I'm dead and gone I want to leave some happy woman living on. Oh oh oh oh. When I'm dead and gone Don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave. Outro: D / / / G / A / (repeat & fade – or end on D) Ooh la la la
