GCG No one give a shit about the way I walk
CG I don't mix my words, it's just the way I talk
CG I got a pistol in my pocket and a-one black eye
CG I say forget these motherfuckers, let's go get high
D Ooh, maybe I should do right
C But I feel like doing wrong
GCG When I'm gone
CG I got a pretty little woman, gonna make her my wife
CG Gonna start myself a family, make a brand new life
DC Ooh, and maybe they'll realize that I'm-a able and I'm strong
GCGC When I'm gone
 BRIDGE:
GC Maybe they'll forgive me
D Beg boy, just come on home
CG When I'm gone
CG I got a baby on the way and I can't provide
CG You can't live on love, you can't live on pride
DC But I come to realize, well it's harder than I thought
GCGD When I'm gone
CGD I could feel it closing in on me
CG D I got to be all I can be
CG In this life there ain't no guarantee
CG You don't get no shit for free
CGD Well, you get it on your own and you bring it home
CGCGCGCG When I'm gone
CG So I'll go and join the army, gonna walk that line
CG A desperate decision for a desperate time
DC Ooh, and maybe they'll realize that I was worth my salt
GCG When I'm gone
CG Ooh darling, darling I know you'll miss me
CD Ooh, we'll just have to stay strong
CGDC When I'm gone
GDC When I'm gone
GDC When I'm gone
