Capo on 2 G If I die young D Bury me in satin A D Lay me down on a bed of roses G D Sink me in the river at dawn A D Send me away with the words of a love song G D A Oh oh, oh oh G D Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother A D She'll know I'm safe with You when she stands under my colors G D Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be A D No, ain't even grey when she buries her baby G D A The sharp knife of a short life G D A Well, I've had just enough time G If I die young D Bury me in satin A D Lay me down on a bed of roses G D Sink me in the river at dawn A D Send me away with the words of a love song G D A Oh oh, oh oh G D And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom A D I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger G D I've never known the loving of a man but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand A D There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever G D Who would have thought forever could be severed by G D A The sharp knife of a short life G D A Well, I've had just enough time G So put on your best boys D And I'll wear my pearls A What I never did is done G D A penny for my thoughts A D Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar G D They're worth so much more after I'm a goner A D And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing G D Funny when you're dead how people start listening G If I die young D Bury me in satin A D Lay me down on a bed of roses G D Sink me in the river at dawn A D Send me away with the words of a love song G D Oh oh, the ballad of a dove A D Go in peace and love G Gather up your tears D Keep em in your pocket A D Save em for a time when you're really gonna need them. G D A The sharp knife of a short life G D A Well, I've had just enough time G So put on your best boys D And I'll wear my pearls A
