[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
