{Chorus} [D C G D] I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone [ D C G D] I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone [ F C F C Em D] Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms.

{Chorus} Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the West.

{Solo}

{Chorus} [(starts soft)] The Sun will shine in my back door someday. [(stops shuffle goes to whole notes)] The Sun will shine in my back door someday. March winds will blow all my troubles away.

{Chorus} I wish I was a headlight, on a North bound train [(stops shuffle goes to whole notes)] I wish I was a headlight, on a North bound train I'd shine my light through cool Colorado rain.

{Chorus} I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms.

{Solo}

{Chorus} [(A cappella w ¼ note tom hits on upbeats to keep time)] I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone [(A cappella no drums)] Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms.

{Ending} [F C F C Em D]
