[Verse 1]
D                     G
Oh I love you baby, I love you night and day
D                            G
When I leave you baby, don't cry the night away
D                              G
When I die, don't you write no words upon my tomb
D                                   G
I don't believe, I want to leave no epitaph for two


[Chorus]
D        A   Bm                G
Oh oh oh oh, when I'm dead and gone
        D                A            D   G  A
I wanna leave some happy woman living on
D        A   Bm                G
Oh oh oh oh, when I'm dead and gone
      D              A               G       D
Don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave - yeah

D                     G
Oh, Mama Linda, she's out to get my hide
D                         G
She's got a shotgun and a daughter by her side
D                  G
Hey there, ladies, Johnsonґs free
D                                         G
Who's got the love, who's got the love to keep a man like me


[Chorus]
D        A/C#   Bm                G
Oh oh oh oh,    when I'm dead and gone

I wanna leave some happy woman living on

Oh oh oh oh,    when I'm dead and gone

Don't want nobody to mourn beside my grave - yeah
