G G
If I die young
D D
Bury me in satin
A A Bm Bm
Lay me down on a bed of roses
G G D D
Sink me in the river at dawn
A A Bm Bm
Send me away with the words of a love song
G G D D A A
Oh oh, oh oh

G G D D
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
A A Bm Bm
She'll know I'm safe with You when she stands under my colors
G G D D
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be
A A Bm Bm
No, ain't even grey but she buries her baby
G G D D A A
The sharp knife of a short life
G G D D A A
Well, I've had just enough time

G G
If I die young
D D
Bury me in satin
A A Bm Bm
Lay me down on a bed of roses
G G D D
Sink me in the river at dawn
A A Bm Bm
Send me away with the words of a love song
G G D D A A
The sharp knife of a short life
G G D D A A
Well, I've had just enough time

G G D D
And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom
A A Bm Bm
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
G G D D A A
I've never known the loving of a man but it sure felt nice when he was
Bm Bm
holding my hand
G G D D
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
A A Bm Bm
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
G G D D A A
The sharp knife of a short life
G G D D A A
Well, I've had just enough time
( Interlude G G- D D- A A-Bm Bm)
G G
So put on your best boys
D D
And I'll wear my pearls
A A
What I never did is done

G G
A A penny for my thoughts
D D
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
A A Bm Bm
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
G G D D
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
A A Bm Bm
Funny when you're dead how people start listening

G G
If I die young
D D
Bury me in satin
A A Bm Bm
Lay me down on a bed of roses
G G D D
Sink me in the river at dawn
A A Bm Bm
Send me away with the words of a love song

G G D D
Oh oh, the ballad of a dove
A A Bm Bm
Go in peace and love
G G
Gather up your tears
D D
Keep em in your pocket
A A Bm Bm
Save em for a time when you're really gonna need them.
G G D D A A
Oh oh, the sharp knife of a short life
G G D D A A
Well, I've had just enough time
G G
So put on your best boys
D D A A
And I'll wear my pearls
