If I Die Young


A bunch of you commented (some more nicely than others) that the D at the end of each phrase is actually a Bm, and you're all right!! Thanks for the help! Standard Tuning, Capo 2 G If I die young D Bury me in satin A Bm Lay me down on a bed of roses G D Sink me in the river at dawn A Bm Send me away with the words of a love song G D A Oh oh, oh oh G Bm Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother A Bm 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 Bm No, ain't even grey (?) but 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 Bm Lay me down on a bed of roses G D Sink me in the river at dawn A Bm Send me away with the words of a love song G D A The sharp knife of a short life G D A Well, I've had just enough time G D A Bm And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom G D A Bm I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger G D A I've never known the loving of a man but it sure felt nice when he was Bm holding my hand G D There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever A Bm 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 A penny for my thoughts D Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar A Bm They're worth so much more after I'm a goner G D And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing A Bm Funny when you're dead how people start listening G If I die young D Bury me in satin A Bm Lay me down on a bed of roses G D Sink me in the river at dawn A Bm Send me away with the words of a love song G D Oh oh, the ballad of a dove A Bm Go in peace and love G Gather up your tears D Keep em in your pocket A Bm Save em for a time when you're really gonna need them.
