[Intro]
G  D  G
[Verse]
GI am a Cman half a Gcentury from home
These calloCused hands served their master GwellEm  
EmDear nothing is the matter
CWe plow our feilds and scatter in the winGd
To end our Ddays alGone
I remember crawCling into GrGandma's open arms
And hiding in the bClanket by her feGetEm  
EmShe said "We're all each other's neighbors
SCearching for a saviour to lead us hGome
On the day Dwe leaGve.
[Chorus]
When I'm Cgone, dGon't you think of me
Don't you place a rose upon my sDtone
Promise mGe you'll never weep
Tell the cChldren I'm Gasleep
And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my Djorney Ghome
[Verse]
Won't you buCry me in the CaGrolina clay
It seeped inCto my fingers aGnywayEm  
This ground is someting hallow, bCury me shallow
GLet me feel the tapping Dof thGe rain
We'll never knCow the place we all would go from Ghere
Be still, mCy soul
Bring the hoGur nearEm  
EmWe see the world in flashes
CAshes all to ashes, dGust to dust
We've come Dto dissGapear
[Chorus]
When I'm Cgone, dGon't you think of me
Don't you place a rose upon my sDtone
GPromise me you'll never weep
Tell the chldCren I'm asleepG  
And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my jorDney homGe
And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my jorDney homGe

[Verse]

G C G

I am a man half a century from home

C G Em

These calloused hands served their master well

Dear nothing is the matter

C G

We plow our feilds and scatter in the wind

D G

To end our days alone

I remember crawling into Grandma's open arms

And hiding in the blanket by her feet

She said "We're all each other's neighbors

Searching for a saviour to lead us home

D G

On the day we leave.

When I'm gone, don't you think of me

Don't you place a rose upon my stone

Promise me you'll never weep

C G

Tell the chldren I'm asleep

D G

And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my jorney home

[Verse]

C G

Won't you bury me in the Carolina clay

C G Em

It seeped into my fingers anyway

This ground is someting hallow, bury me shallow

G D G

Let me feel the tapping of the rain

C G

We'll never know the place we all would go from here

Be still, my soul

G Em

Bring the hour near

We see the world in flashes

C G

Ashes all to ashes, dust to dust

D G

We've come to dissapear

[Chorus]

When I'm gone, don't you think of me

Don't you place a rose upon my stone

Promise me you'll never weep

C G

Tell the chldren I'm asleep

And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my jorney home

D G

And sing "Holy, holy, holy" as I make my jorney home
