After I'm Gone - Michael Bennett

Key (original): Abm → Key (transposed): Gm | Điệu: Blues

Intro:
[Gm] [Gm] [Cm] [Cm]

[D] Mm [D]

Verse:
When the [Gm] night grows quiet and my chair is still
And the [Cm] house feels colder on the windowsill
If my [F] voice don't echo down the hall
Don't think I'm lost [Bbmaj7] I heard His call
[Cm7] I walk through valleys dark and deep [D7]
Where broken fathers fall [Gm] and weep
But Psalm twentythree kept [Cm] holding on
[D] The Shepherd said: [D7] You're not [Gm] alone

Chorus:
After I'm [Cm] gone don't [Cm7] cry too [F] long
Heaven was my [Bb] home all [Eb] along [Ebmaj7]
If you [Cm] feel a whisper in the [Cm7] wind
That's my [D] love reaching you [Gm] again
The grave ain't [Cm] strong
Love lives [F] on
Jesus wrote my [Bb] name in [Eb] stone
After I'm [Cm7] gone [D] [D7] I'm not [Gm] alone

Inst.:
[Cm7] [F] [F7] [Bb] [Ebmaj7] [Cm] [D] [Gm]

[Gm] Mm

Verse:
Remember the prayers beside your [Cm] bed
All the words I [F] never said
[Bb] Every tear I tried to hide
[Eb] God was counting them [Cm] inside
Like the pride of a [D7] running [D] back
Grace covered [Gm] every crack
The Father opened up His [Cm] door

Chorus:
[D] I don't hurt [Gm] anymore
[G7] After I'm [Cm] gone lift your [F] eyes
We'll meet beyond the [Bb] skies
'cause [Eb] this goodbye's not the [Cm] end
It's [D7] where [D] forever [Gm] begins
Mm the grave ain't [Cm] strong
Love lives [F] on
The [Bb] land has overcome it [Eb] all
After I'm [Cm7] gone sing my [D] song

Outro:
We'll [D7] [Gm] meet [Cm] beyond [D7] the dawn

[Gm] Mm mm
