If I die young
           D
Bury me in satin
        A               Bm4
Lay me down on a bed of roses
               G          D
Sink me in the river at dawn
        A                        Bm4
Send me away with the words of a love song

  Oh oh, oh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
                          A                         Bm4
She'll know I'm safe with You when she stands under my colors
   G                                 D
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be
   A                     Bm4
No, ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
 G             D          A  Bm4
The sharp knife of a short life
     G         D          A
Well, I've had just enough time

         G
If I die young

The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

                    G                D          
And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom
       A                      Bm4
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
    G                D          
I've never known the loving of a man 
       A                         Bm4
but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
         G                            D          
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
A                        Bm4
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

   G             D          A  Bm4
The sharp knife of a short life
     G         D           A 
Well, I've had just enough time

G D A Bm4 x2

  G
So put on your best boys
    D
And I'll wear my pearls
A
What I never did is done

               G                
A penny for my thoughts
        D          
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
  A                         Bm4
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
     G                         D          
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
A                          Bm4
Funny when you're dead how people start listening

G D A Bm4 

         G
If I die young

Bury me in satin
        A               Bm4

        A                        Bm4
Send me away with the words of a love song


G            D
 Oh oh, the ballad of a dove
A        Bm4
  Go in peace and love
 G
Gather up your tears
D
Keep them in your pocket
  A                               Bm4
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them.

          G                D       A    Bm4
Oh oh, the sharp knife of a short life
     G         D           A 
Well, I've had just enough time

   G
So put on your best boys
    D
And I'll wear my pearls

put you index on the 5th string on the 3rd fret, your middle finger on 3rd string, 4th fret and your ring finger on 4th string and 4th fret...and don't play the first finger, but play all the others...

I've made a video tutorial for "If I die Young", where I explain how to play Bm4..
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-h2LoTzeeI) go to 1:21, and I explain it better there

I want to post or [tab]
