[E] [B]
If [E] I die young, bury me instead and [B] lay me down
[C#m] A bed of roses, [E] sink me in a river at dawn
[B] Send me away with the [C#m] words of a love song
[A]
[E] [B]
Lord, [E] make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm [B] safe with you when she [C#m] stands under my colors
Oh, [A] and life ain't [E] always what you think it ought to be
No, I ain't even grievin' [G#m] when she buries her [A] baby
In the [E] sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had it just in
[B] time
If [A] I die young, [E] bury me instead and lay [B] me down
A [C#m] bed of roses, [E] sink me in a river at dawn
Send me [B] away with the [C#m] words of a love [E] song
The sharp knife of a short [B] life
[E]
And I'm full [B] to life, and I'll be [A] wearin' white
[E] When I come into your kingdom, [B] I'm as green as a wing
[C#m] And a little cold finger, [A] I've never [E] known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when [C#m] he was holdin' my [A] hand
He's a boy here in [E] town, says he'll love me forever
[B] Who would've [C#m] thought forever could be [A] severed by
The sharp [E] knife of a short life
[A]
[E] Just another [B]

[A] So put on your best boys [E] and I'll wear my pearls
[B] What I never did is done
A penny [A] for my thoughts, oh no
[E] I'm sellin' for a dollar
[B] It was so much [C#m] more after I'm a goner
[A] And you maybe didn't [E] hear the words I've been singin'
[B] Funny when [C#m] you're dead, how people start a -listenin'

If [A] I die young, you'll [E] marry me instead and lay [B] me down
On a [C#m] bed of roses, [E] sink me in a river at dawn
And send [B] me away with the [C#m] words of a love [A] song
The sharp [E] knife of a [B] short life
[E] Well, it's a different [B] time
[A] So put on your best boys [E] and I'll wear my pearls
If [E] I die young, bury me instead and [B] lay me down
