I'll Be Gone

Intro: Eb Fm Eb (x2) #1. Eb Fm When the quiet evening comes and the village Ab Fm Bb softly lies, twinkling in the shadow of the Eb mountain. Eb Ab When the twilight's muffled drums play tattoos Bb to the skies, and the heavens close their eyes, Eb I'll be gone. #2. Eb Fm When the fisher folds his net, makes his craft Bb Eb secure, and gazes to the west for signs of weather. Eb Ab When he thinks of his table set, his children at Bb Eb the door, as he plods along the shore..I'll be gone. INTERLUDE: Eb Bb Eb #3. Eb Fm When the merchant draws his shade, counts the day’s Bb Eb receipts, and smiles, recalling bits of idle gossip. Eb Ab When the entries all are made in the ledger's tidy Bb Eb sheets as he shuffles down the streets..I'll be gone. OUTRO: Eb Fm Tis pretty, but is chains, and I must be free. Bb Eb So, fare-thee-well, ye full, contented fellow. Eb Ab Bb No quiet life for me, no home, no family, now, and Eb endlessly..I'll be gone. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
