If [A] I die young, bury me [E] in sack
Lay me [B] down on a bed of [C#m] roses
Sink me in [A] the river at [Em] dawn
Send me [B] away with the words of [C#m] a love song
[A] Oh oh, [E] [C#m] oh [B] oh
Lord, [E] make me [A] a rainbow, I'll shine down on [E] my mother
She'll know I'm [B] safe with you when she stands under [C#] my colors
[B] Oh, [A] and life ain't always what [E] you think it ought to be
You [B] know, ain't even gray, but [C#m] she buries her [A] baby
The short [E] enough of a short [B] life
[C#m] Oh [A] well,
[E] I've had just enough [B] time

[B] I'm as green as the rain [C#m] on my little cold finger
[A] I've never known [E] a man, [B] but it sure felt nice when [C#m] he was holding my hand
[A] There's a poor hearing tale that [E] says you'll love me [A] forever
[B] Who would have thought [C#m] forever could be [A] severed by
The short [E] enough of a [B] short life

[E] I'll sell them for a dollar, [C#] [B] there were so much more
[C#m] After [E] I'm a goner and [A] maybe then you'll hear [E] the words I've been singing
[B] Funny when you're dead [C#m] how people start listening
[A] If [E] [B]
I [A] die young, bury me [E] in sack
