If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses, sink me in the river [E] at dawn, [B] send me away with the [C#m] words of a love [A] song
[E] Oh oh, [B] oh oh
Lord, [A] make me a rainbow, I'll [E] shine down on my mother, she'll [B] know I'm safe with you when she [C#m] stands under my colors
[A] Life ain't [E] always what you think it ought to [B] be, no, ain't even [C#] gray but she buries her [A] baby, the [E] sharp knife of a [B] short life, [C#m]
[A] well, [E] I've had just enough time

And [A] I'll be wearing white [E] when I come into your [B] kingdom, I'm as green as the [C#m] ring on my little cold [A] finger
Never [E] known the loving of a [B] man, but it sure felt [C#m] nice when he was holding my [A] hand, this boy here in [E] town says he'll love me [B] forever, who would've [C#m] thought forever could be [A] severed by the [E] sharp knife of a [B] short [C#m] life, [A] well, [E] I've had just [B] enough time

[A] So put on your [E] best, boys, and I'll wear my [B] pearls, what I never did is done, a penny [A] for my thoughts, oh no, [E] I'll sell them for a dollar, [F#] they're worth so much [C#m] more, after I'm a [A] goner, and maybe then you'll [E] hear the words I've been singing, [B] funny when you're dead, how [C#m] people start listening
[F#] Hide [E] [B] my young, bury [E] me in satin, lay [B] me down on a bed [C#m] of roses, sink me [A] in the river [E] at dawn, send [B] me away with the words [C#m] of a love song
[A] The [E] ballad of a [B] dove, go [C#m] with pain for love, [A] gather up your tears, [E] keep them in your pocket, [B] save them for a time [C#m] when you're really gonna need [A] them all, sharp [E] knife of a [B] short [C#] life, well, [A]
