A
If I die young
E
Bury me in satin
B C
Lay me down on a bed of roses
A E
Sink me in the river at dawn
B C
Send me away with the words of a love song
A E B
Oh oh, oh oh
A E
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
B C
She'll know I'm safe with You when she stands under my colors
A E
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be
B C
No, ain't even grey (?) but she buries her baby
A E B
The sharp knife of a short life
A E B
Well, I've had just enough time
(Chords are the same for chorus and second verse)
If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life
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
I've never known the loving of a man but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
A
So put on your best boys
E
And I'll wear my pearls
B
What I never did is done
(Chords same as 1st & 2nd verse)
A penny for my thoughts
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
Funny when you're dead how people start listening
(chords same as Chorus)
If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
A E
Oh oh, the ballad of a dove
B E
Go in peace and love
A
Gather up your tears
E
Keep em in your pocket
B E
Save em for a time when you're really gonna need them.
(Same as before)
Oh oh, the sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
