If I die young

Bury me in satin
G G AM AM
Lay me down on a bed of roses
F F C C
Sink me in the river at dawn
G G AM AM
Send me away with the words of a love song
F F C C G G
Oh oh, oh oh


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

And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
F F C C
I've never known the loving of a man
G G AM AM
but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
F F C C G G AM AM
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever

F F C C G G
Who would have thought forever could be severed by


F F C C G G
The sharp knife of a short life
F F A A G G
Well, I've had just enough time
