There was already a version of this song published on here, but I found it to be inaccurate. This version
reflects the recording that I've heard much more accurately. If anyone can figure out the intro that would be
much appreciated.
Here is a near approximation of the intro. It is not quite perfect but I think it's close enough.

Capo on 1st fret.
DThere's no place in this world where I'll Bmbelong when I'm gone
GAnd I won't know the Emright from theA wrong when I'm gone
DAnd you won't find me siBmngin' on this song when I'm gone
GSo I guess I'll have tAo do it while I'm Dhere
DAnd I won't feel the flowing of the Bmtime when I'm gone
GAll the pleasures of Emlove will not be Amine when I'm gone
DMy pen won't pour out a lyric lBmine when I'm gone
GSo I guess I'll have to Ado it while I'm Dhere
DAnd I won't breathe the bracing Bmair when I'm gone
GAnd I can't even wEmorry 'bout my cAares when I'm gone
DWon't be asked to do my sBmhare when I'm gone
GSo I guess I'll have to Ado it while I'm hDere
DAnd I won't be running from the rBmain when I'm gone
GAnd I can't even sEmuffer from the Apain when I'm gone
DCan't say who's to praise and who's to Bmblame when I'm gone
GSo I guess I'll have to Ado it while I'm hDere
DWon't see the golden of the Bmsun when I'm gone
GAnd the evenings and the Emmornings will be Aone when I'm gone
DCan't be singing louder than the Bmguns when I'm gone
GSo I guess I'll have to dAo it while I'm hDere
DAll my days won't be dances of Bmdelight when I'm gone
GAnd the sands will be Emshifting from my Asight when I'm gone
DCan't add my name into the Bmfight while I'm gone
GSo I guess I'll have to dAo it while I'm hDere
DAnd I won't be laughing at the lBmies when I'm gone
GAnd I can't question Emhow or when or Awhy when I'm gone
DCan't live proud enough to dBmie when I'm gone
GSo I guess I'll have to dAo it while I'm hDere
