If I die young, bury [C] me in satin
Lay me down [G] on a bed [A] of roses
[G] Sing me in the river [C] at dawn
Send me away [G] with the words [E] of a love [G] song
Oh, [C] oh
[G]
[Em] Lord, make me a [F] rainbow, I'll shine down [C] on my mother
She'll know I'm safe [G] with you when she stands under [Am] my colors, [G] oh
And life [F] ain't always what [C] you think it ought to be, [G] no
It ain't even great, but [Am] she buries her [G] baby
[F] The sharp [C] knife of a short [G]
life
[Am] [G] Oh, [F] well, I've [C] had just enough [G]
time
If [F] I die young, bury [C] me in satin
Lay me [G] down on a bed of [Am] roses
[G] Sing me in [C] the river at [C] dawn
Send me [G] away with the [Am] words of a love song
[F] The sharp [C] knife of a [G] short [Am] life
[F] Oh, well, [C] I've had just enough [G]
time
I'll be [F] wearing white [C] when I come into your kingdom
[G] I'm as green as the ring [Am] on my little, cold finger
[F] I never fell [C] in love with no one
[G] But it sure felt nice [Am] when I held you in the sun
[F] And you took my hand and [C] said you'd love me forever
[G] Who would've thought [Am] that forever could be [F] severed
By the sharp [C] knife of a short [G] life
Oh, [F] well, I've [C] had just enough [G] time
[G] Oh, oh, [F]
[C] [G]
[Am] if I [F] die young
[C] [G]
[Am] [G] Penny for my thoughts, oh no
I'll [C] sell them for a dollar
They're [G] worth so much more [E] after I'm a goner
And [C] maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
Funny [G] when you're dead how [A] people start listening
If I [F] die young, bury me [C] in satin
Lay [G] me down on a [Am] bed of roses
[G] Sing me in the [F] river [C] at dawn
Send me [G] away with the words [Am] of a love
[D] [F] song
The sharp [C] knife of a short life
[G] Go with peace [Am] and love
Gather [F] up your tears
Keep them [C] in your pockets
Save them for a [G] time when you're really gonna need them all
[C] The sharp [Cm] knife of a short life
[N]
