Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do

Watcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do

Watcha gonna do when I'm gone

There's no time for changing plans

I must believe it's in your hands

I know you'll wait, but for how long

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

When I'm away

You're going to have a good time

What can I say

Will you remember you're mine

What will you do

When they want to touch you

What will you do

When they want to get you

I know what they'll do

If you ever let em

Are you going to let em

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do (whatcha gonna do)

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do (whatcha gonna do)

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

When the boys all come to call

Will you take them in at all

Or will you send them all away

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Why don't you run

And do what you wanna do

Ain't nothing wrong

Cause I'll be doing it too

If you give in, I don't wanna hear it

And if he wins, I don't wanna see it

Whatever you do, maybe you could hide it

Try to keep it quiet

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do

Watcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do

Watcha gonna do when I'm gone

And when it's night and I'm not there

When the cold is in the air

Will you make the best of it

With someone there to keep you warm

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Where you gonna be when I'm gone

Who will be with you

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do (whatcha gonna do now)

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Where you gonna be

When I'm gone (when I'm gone)

Who will be with you

Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Chilliwack are a Canadian rock band that had their heyday during the 1970s and 1980s. They are perhaps best remembered for their three biggest songs "My Girl (Gone Gone Gone)", "I Believe" and "Whatcha Gonna Do." The band's lineup has changed numerous times, though Bill Henderson has constantly remained a fixture, and Chilliwack continues to tour across Canada.

The band initially formed as the Classics (1964) in Vancouver, British Columbia, but later changed the name to the Collectors (1966). Their psychedelic debut album yielded the minor hit 'Lydia Purple.' A second album was based on the musical score written by the band for a stage play by Canadian playwright George Ryga, Grass and Wild Strawberries.

Chilliwack effectively began with the departure of vocalist Howie Vickers from the Collectors in 1969; however, the band didn't change its name until 1970, to Chilliwack, a Salish term meaning "going back up" and the name of a city east of Vancouver in the Fraser River valley. With lead guitarist Bill Henderson now providing most of the vocals and doing most of the composing, the band released several records that were moderately successful in Canada. Hit singles in Canada included "Lonesome Mary", "Crazy Talk" and "Fly at Night". The album track "Rain-o", a blues-based composition that appeared in different versions on the Chilliwack debut album and the later "Dreams, Dreams, Dreams", was a well-known concert favorite.

In 1978, Brian MacLeod (guitar, drums, keyboards) and Ab Bryant (bass) joined the band. Chilliwack enjoyed its greatest success with this new lineup. The singles "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)" (1981), "I Believe" (1982), and "Whatcha Gonna Do (When I'm Gone)" (1982) were popular both in Canada and in the U.S. Rolling Stone Magazine wrote:

"At their best, Chilliwack was the finest Canadian rock band, outrocking BTO and outwriting Burton Cummings. But a lack of consistency kept it from international success."

Henderson and MacLeod received a Best Producer Juno Award in 1982 for Opus X. MacLeod left the band soon after, and Chilliwack's last new recording was released in 1984. Henderson and Lawrence continued to tour with other players until December 1988. In 1989 Henderson went on to form the band UHF.

2005 saw Chilliwack play Voyageur Days Festival in Mattawa, Ontario, Canada (near North Bay) with other Canadian bands Moxy, Toronto, Trooper, Goddo, Killer Dwarfs and Ray Lyell for the thirtieth anniversary for release of the debut album by Moxy.

Bass player Ab Bryant's son Matt Bryant is the singer/songwriter and founding member of Canadian roots/folk band Headwater.

This song always reminds me of the End Times films and books of the 1970's.

I was 10-years old. This was back in 1983 and they played this clip around the time Michael Jackson's Thriller was on MTV. Quite an eye-opener for a 10-year old boy, so this was my first kind of naughty video clip. I loved the video, the guys looked so cool back then, the hot girlfriend getting up to mischief while the singer was away. I loved his face. He had that 'I'm fronting a Rock band' look about him. Only thing was I never caught the name of the band nor the song, but always remembered the song. Finally, it's here, and I can just replay it as many times as I want to.

Canadian rock bands were just filled with complete awesomeness. Saw these guys in concert at the Burlington Sound of Music in June. They rocked fantastically in the seventies and eighties, but they can still rock today. What an awesome and inspirational band!

This was era when Canadian rock bands were at the very very best. Chilliwack is in my top ten favs of rock bands period. An amazing talented group of songwriters, and musicians Brian Mcloud was one of the best rock guitarists in the industry period.He could have been in any rock band anywhere, and would have had an immediate impact. But he passed away too young at 40, and is missed terribly by his fans. Canadian rock takes a backseat to no one kiddies.
