Theyre Gonna Miss Me When Im Gone

E

[Verse 1]
  A
I never thought that I'd be hanging
                       E
around this damned old town.
  A
I always thought the world was flat so
A                 E
I just kinds hung around.
B
I got a job but it ain't much sure
B                         E
keeps my feet down on the ground.
      A
I was born here, I was raised here, I'll
A                             E
soon be appraised here when I die. I
A
thought that I was real cool man they
A                                E
missed me at my high school by a mile.
     B
Everything I learned I let it burn with
B                     E
no return in that old file.

[Chorus]
G                         D
Someday I'm gonna draw my own map honey
G                        D
I'm gonna nail it to the wall
G                                 D
Find my course, dream a lot, and save my money
G                              D
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
G                              D
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone

[Verse 2]
         A
Man if I have to drive this truck around the
A                                 E
square one more time I'm going to bust.
A
Everybody follows everybody around some
A             E
silly kind of trust.
     B
I've trusted destination long enough it
B                           E
rains a lot I'm going to rust.
  A
I sit down in the parking lot of the
A                           E
Hy-vee after midnight and I cried
A
Yeah that old sorrow's getting to me but
A                              E
tomorrow I still won't be satisfied
    B
I'm feeling all unraveled man I
B                              E
throw a lot of gravel when I'm wild

I'm gonna nail it to the wall
G                                 D
Find my course, dream a lot, and save my money
G                              D
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
G                              D
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone

[Verse 3]
     A
Everyone in town here tells
A                            E
everyone around here what to do.
A
Man I just can't go for that I can't
A                                    E
stand for that when they do that can you?
B
My best thinking has kept me here so I
B                             E
best think of ways that I can move.

I'm gonna nail it to the wall
G                                 D
