[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 1]

               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


[Refrain]

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
        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


[Refrain]

G              D             A   D6add9/A
  The sharp knife of a short life
     G        D              A
Well, I've had just enough time


[Verse 2]

                    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


[Refrain]

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


[Bridge]

   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 'em 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
               G         D
Sink me in the river at dawn
         A                       D6add9/A
Send me away with the words of a love song


[Post-Chorus]

   G        D
Oh oh, the ballad of a dove
A         D6add9/A
  Go with peace and love
G
Gather up your tears
D
Keep 'em in your pocket
A                                D6add9/A
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh


[Refrain]

G              D             A   D6add9/A
  The sharp knife of a short life
     G        D             A
Well, I've had just enough time


[Outro]

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