If I Die Young


Capo- Fret 1 (Fret 2 sounds good too) [Chorus] F# If I die young C Bury me in satin G Ab Lay me down on a bed of roses F# C Sink me in the river at dawn G Ab Send me away with the words of a love song F# C G Oh oh, oh oh... [1st Verse] F# Lord, make me a rainbow C I'll shine down on my mother G She'll know I'm safe with you Ab When she stands under my colors F# C Oh, and life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no G Ab F# Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby C G The sharp knife on a short life F# C G Well, I've had just enough time [Chorus] [2nd Verse] F# And I'll be wearing white C When I come into Your kingdom G Ab I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger F# C I've never known the loving of a man G Ab But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand F# There's a boy here in town C Says he'll love me forever G Ab F# Who'd of thought forever could be severed by F# C G The sharp knife of a short life F# C G Well I've had just enough time [Chorus] [Bridge] F# So put on your best, boys C And I'll wear my pearls G Eb What I never did is done F# A penny for my thoughts C Oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar G Ab There worth so much more after I'm a goner F# C And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing G Ab Funny how your dead when people start listening... [Chorus] F# C So put on your best, boys G And I'll wear my pearls... Thanks! :)
