If I die young

Bury me in satin
A A Bm Bm
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

Oh oh, oh oh

G G D D
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
A A Bm Bm
She'll know I'm safe with You when she stands under my colors
G G D D
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be
A A Bm Bm
No, ain't even grey but she buries her baby
G G D D A A
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
A A Bm Bm
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
Bm Bm
holding my hand
G G D D
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

Well, I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys

And I'll wear my pearls
A A
What I never did is done

G G
A A penny for my thoughts
D D
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
A A Bm Bm
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
G G D D
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
A A Bm Bm
Funny when you're dead how people start listening

G G
If I die young
D D
Bury me in satin
A A Bm Bm
Lay me down on a bed of roses
G G D D
Sink me in the river at dawn
A A Bm Bm
Send me away with the words of a love song

Oh oh, the ballad of a dove

Go in peace and love

Gather up your tears

Keep em in your pocket
A A Bm Bm
Save em for a time when you're really gonna need them.

Oh oh, the sharp knife of a short life
G G D D A A
Well, I've had just enough time
G G
So put on your best boys

And I'll wear my pearls
