 G                 Cmaj7    C
Bury my heart in a willow tree
      G           Gmaj7        C
The branches give rise to the lowest leaves
       Em          D          C  Cmaj7 C
Find shelter and shade in my arms

Once I am gone don't mourn for me
I hope you take pride in what I used to be
Let go of all your pain

Chorus:
 Am                D           G   G7
Will you remember me when I'm gone?
    C              Am
Or will you forget all-all
               C
All that I've done?

I've made mistakes that I can't take back
I'm just a man both good and bad
Can you forgive all my wrongs?

Chorus:
Will you remember me when I'm gone?
And can you forgive all, all my wrongs?

 Em           A        Am       D         G  G7
Memories may fade but what we create may stay
 Em                    A  A7
Time holds the key of fate
      Am                  D
Only time can reveal the gate

Chorus:
Will you remember me when I'm gone?
Or will you forget all, all that I've done?

Memories may fade
But what we create may stay
Time holds the key of fate
Only time can reveal the gate
