When I Have Sung My Songs for You
(music by Clara Edwards, lyrics by Harriet Monroe)
Verse 1
F C G7 C
When I have sung my songs for you, and said farewell,
F C
And turned my face away,
F C G7 C
May all the happy hours we knew return to you,
F C
To light your darkest day.
Chorus
G7 C G7 C
Then through the years you will remember me,
G7 C F C
And know the love that could not find a way,
F G7 C F
Will make the shadows bright where'er you roam,
G7 C
When I have sung my songs for you and gone.
Verse 2
F C G7 C
When shadows fall across your path, and all seems vain,
F C
Let this be true:
F C G7 C
A song once born can never wholly die,
F C
It lives in you.
Chorus
G7 C G7 C
Then through the years you will remember me,
G7 C F C
And know the love that could not find a way,
F G7 C F
Will make the shadows bright where'er you roam,
G7 C
When I have sung my songs for you and gone.

Remember that the key of C major is the simplest for beginners, but you may need to adjust it to fit your preferred vocal range.
