If I die young bury me in satin
        A               Bm
Lay me down on a bed of roses
               G        D
Sink me in the river at dawn

She'll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
 G                          D
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
 A                       Bm
ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

G               D            A    Bm
 The sharp knife of a short life, well
G        D             A  Bm
 I’ve had just enough time

 I’ve had just enough time

                    G            D
And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
        A                       Bm
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
    G                 D
I’ve never known the lovin' of a man
        A                          Bm
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                        Bm        
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

G               D            A    Bm

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

Gather up your tears, keep ‘em in your pocket
                A                            Bm   
Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh

G               D            A    Bm
 The sharp knife of a short life, well
G        D             A  Bm
