INTRO: G  C  G  C


Whisper to me when I'm coming back home
         F
Will you miss me, miss me, miss me when I'm gone
        G
Another night when the cold wind moans
          F    C     Am           G       F
With your long black veil, crying over my bones


        C
On your face was a beauty deep
         F
That the grand brush of time just could not sweep
               G
Those laughing eyes like a river ran
         F     C  Am              G    F       Fm
From the heart of Richmond to the holy land


CHORUS:
                          C       F
You're going far down the road
                        C       E
And these tears must be shed
                 Am              G              D
But life is only growing, moving swiftly like a storm
                    F       Fm
For to return here again
                    C
For to return here again



In this wild and wicked place
            F
Sorrows and fears we can't escape
                 G
Clinch Mountain girl won't you wait for me
        F   C    Am     G      F       Fm
Bury me beneath the willow tree


CHORUS:
                          C       F
You're going far down the road
                        C       E
And these tears must be shed
                 Am              G              D
But life is only growing, moving swiftly like a storm
                    F       Fm
For to return here again
                    C
For to return here again



Whisper to me when I'm coming back home
         F
Will you miss me, miss me, miss me when I'm gone
        G
Another night when the cold wind moans
          F    C     Am           G       F
With your long black veil, crying over my bones
