EV'RY TIME (WHEN WE ARE GONE) 

by Tom Paxton (1962) 

(E)Ev'ry time I (A)hear a sweet bird (E)singin'
I (B7)think of you and (E)I, my dear, 
I (B7)think of you and (E)I. 
(E)When I hear the (A)evenin' bells a (E)ringin' 
I (B7)hang my head and (E)cry, my dear, 
I (B7)hang my head and (E)cry. 

(E)And they will ring, 
And they will (A)ring (E)(B7)
(B7)When we are (E)gone.


Ev'ry time I hear your soft voice hummin' 
My heart jumps in my breast, my dear, 
My heart jumps in my breast. 
An until I hear your footsteps comin' 
I sure can know no rest,my dear, 
I sure can know no rest. 

I will love you, 
I will love you 
when we are gone. 


I will love you, 
I will love you 
when we are gone.
