G                                         C
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone
      G                                   D7
There ain't nobody gonna mourn for me too long
          G                         C
Won't you write these words upon my headstone
      G                  D7               G
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

[Verse 1]
                                       C
Once I had a little sweetheart I loved dearly
   G                                 D7
We planned the day that she would be my own
     G                             C
Some other man he stole my darlin' from me
          G                  D7               G
Now there ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

[Chorus]
G                                         C
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone
      G                                   D7
There ain't nobody gonna mourn for me too long
          G                         C
Won't you write these words upon my headstone
      G                  D7               G
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

[Verse 2]
                                    C
Once I had a lovin' mother dear and daddy
    G                                    D7
But now they're in the land where angels dwell
          G                            C
They have found eternal rest way up in heaven
           G       D7                G
Where I'll find my reward no one can tell

[Chorus]
G                                         C
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone
      G                                   D7
There ain't nobody gonna mourn for me too long
          G                         C
Won't you write these words upon my headstone
      G                  D7               G
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

[Verse 3]
                                                 C
Now you’ve been faithful kind and true to me old Copper
           G                            D7
You’re the only one that’s never done me wrong
     G                                 C
I am weeping while I pat your head old Copper
          G                  D7               G
For there ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I’m gone
