Disjunctive Question

Dear Teachers,

Which one is correct?

E.g. I shall have seen him by that time I come, shan't I?

Or

I shall have seen him by that time I come, shan't have I?

I think the first option is correct. Am I right?

Regards

I shall have seen him by the time I come, shan't I? I shall have seen him by the time I come, shan't I have ? Either tag is acceptable, but neither is common modern English.
