Capo 4
[Chorus]
Am F
If I die young
C
Bury me in satin
G Am
Lay me down on a bed of roses
F C
Sink me in the river at dawn
G Am
Send me away with the words of a love song
F C G
Oh oh, oh oh...
[1st Verse]
F
Lord, make me a rainbow
C
I'll shine down on my mother
G
She'll know I'm safe with you
Am
When she stands under my colors
F C
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no
G Am F
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
C G
The sharp knife on a short life
F C G
Well, I've had just enough time
[Chorus]
Am F
If I die young
C
Bury me in satin
G Am
Lay me down on a bed of roses
F C
Sink me in the river at dawn
G Am
Send me away with the words of a love song
C G
The sharp knife on a short life
F C G
Well, I've had just enough time
[2nd Verse]
F
And I'll be wearing white
C
When I come into Your kingdom
G Am
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
F C
I've never known the loving of a man
G Am
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
F
There's a boy here in town
C
Says he'll love me forever
G Am F
Who'd of thought forever could be severed by
C G
The sharp knife of a short life
F C G
Well I've had just enough time
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
F
So put on your best, boys
C
And I'll wear my pearls
G C
What I never did is done
F
A penny for my thoughts
C
Oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
G Am
There worth so much more after I'm a goner
F C
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
G Am
Funny when your dead how people start listening...
[Chorus]
Am F
If I die young
C
Bury me in satin
G Am
Lay me down on a bed of roses
F C
Sink me in the river at dawn
G Am
Send me away with the words of a love song
C G Am
Oh oh, the ballad of a dove
F C
Go with peace and love
G C
Gather up your tears, keep ‘em in your pocket
G Am
Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
C G
The sharp knife of a short life,
F C G
Well I've had just enough time
F C
So put on your best, boys
G
And I'll wear my pearls...
And?
Is it a good one?

Elsemieke & Janneke.
Sounds great with a 5,3,4,2 picking pattern on all the chords.
If you take off the capo, that's how Sam Tsui sings it.
