_ _ _ _ If I die young, bury [E] me in sand
Lay [B] me down on a [C#m] bed of roses
Sing [A] me in the river
_ [E] _ _ Send [B] me away with the words of [G#] a love _ [A] song
_ _ [E] Oh oh, oh [B]
oh
_ _ _ Lord, make [A] me a rainbow
I'll shine [E] down _ on, [B] save with you
And she stands [C#m] under my covers
_ _ [A] _
_ _ [E] What you think it ought to be, [B] no
Ain't even gray, [C#] but she buries her [A] baby
A sharp [E] moth of [B] short _ lines
[C#m] _ _ _ [A] Well, _ _ [E] I'll have just [B] enough _ time
_ _ If I [A] die young, bury [E] me in sand
Lay [B] me down on a [C#m] bed of roses
Sing [A] me in the river
[E] At dawn, send [B] me away with the [C#m] words of a love song
[A] _
A sharp [E] moth of [B] short lines
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A]
Well, _ [E] I'll have just enough [B] _ time
_ _ And I'll [A] be wearing white
[E] And I'll come into your kingdom
[B] On a green azure
[C#m] With my little gold finger
[A]
I've never [E] known a _ man
[B] But he sure felt nice
[C#m] When he was holding my [A] hand
A boy here in town [E] says he'll love me forever
[B] Who would've thought [C#m] forever
Could be [A] severed by
[E] A sharp moth of [B] short lines
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A]
Well, I'll [E] have just [B] enough _ time
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
So put on your best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
[B] _ What I never did is done
A penny [A] for my thoughts, oh no
[E] I'll sell them for a dollar
[B] There was so much more
[C#m] After I'm a [A] goner
And maybe then you'll hear
[E] The words I've been [B] singing
Funny when you're dead
[C#m] How people start a lesson
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
If [A] I die young, [E] bury me in sand
Lay me [B] down on a bed [C#m] of roses
Sing me [A] in the river
_ _ [E] _
Take me [B] away with the [C#m] words of a love song
_ [A] Go _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [C#m] be some [A] love
Gather up your things
And [E] keep them in your pocket
[B] Save them for when [C#m] you're in a moment
[A] Of _ [E] sharp moth of [B] short lines
_ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E]
Just you
[B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] So put on your best [E] boys
_ And I'll wear [B]
my pearls
