[Intro]
G
If I die young
D
Bury me in satin
A D6add9/ A
Lay me down on a bed of roses
G D
Sink me in the river at dawn
A D6add9/ A
Send me away with the words of a love song
G D A
Oh oh, oh oh
[Verse]
G D
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
A D6add9/ A
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 D6add9/ A
No, ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
[Bridge]
G D A D6add9/ A
The sharp knife of a short life
G D D6add9/ A
Well, I've had just enough time
[Chorus]
G
If I die young
D
Bury me in satin

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song
[Bridge]
G D A D6add9/ A
The sharp knife of a short life
G D A
Well, I've had just enough time
[Verse]
G D
And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom
A D6add9/ A
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
G D
I've never known the loving of a man
A D6add9/ A
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 D6add9/ A
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[Bridge]
G D A D6add9/ A
The sharp knife of a short life
G D A
Well, I've had just enough time
[Instrumental]
G D A D6add9/ A x2
[Interlude]
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 D6add9/ A
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 D6add9/ A
Funny when you're dead how people start listening
[Instrumental]
G D A D6add9/ A
[Chorus]
G
If I die young
D
Bury me in satin
A D6add9/ A
Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn
A D6add9/ A
Send me away with the words of a love song
[Outro]
G D
Oh oh, the ballad of a dove
A D6add9/ A
Go in peace and love
G
Gather up your tears
D
Keep them in your pocket
A D6add9/ A
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them
G D A D6add9/ A
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
