Sol
If I die young
Re
Bury me in satin
La Re6/La
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sol Re
Sink me in the river at dawn
La Re6add9/La
Send me away with the words of a love song
Sol Re La
Oh oh, oh oh
Sol Re
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
La Re6add9/La
She'll know I'm safe with You when she stands under my colors
Sol Re
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be
La Re6add9/La
No, ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
Sol Re La Re6add9/La
The sharp knife of a short life
Sol Re Re6add9/La
Well, I've had just enough time
Sol
If I die young
Re
Bury me in satin
La Re6add9/La
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sol Re
Sink me in the river at dawn
La Re6add9/La
Send me away with the words of a love song
Sol Re La Re6add9/La
The sharp knife of a short life
Sol Re La
Well, I've had just enough time
Sol Re
And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom
La Re6add9/La
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
Sol Re
I've never known the loving of a man
La Re6add9/La
but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
Sol Re
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
La Re6add9/La
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
Sol Re La Re6add9/La
The sharp knife of a short life
Sol Re La
Well, I've had just enough time
Sol Re La Re6add9/La x2
Sol
So put on your best boys
Re
And I'll wear my pearls
La
What I never did is done
Sol
A penny for my thoughts
Re
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
La Re6add9/La
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
Sol Re
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
La Re6add9/La
Funny when you're dead how people start listening
Sol Re La Re6add9/La
Sol
If I die young
Re
Bury me in satin
La Re6add9/La
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sol Re
Sink me in the river at dawn
La Re6add9/La
Send me away with the words of a love song
Sol Re
Oh oh, the ballad of a dove
La Re6add9/La
Go in peace and love
Sol
Gather up your tears
Re
Keep them in your pocket
La Re6add9/La
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them
Sol Re La Re6add9/La
Oh oh, the sharp knife of a short life
Sol Re La
Well, I've had just enough time
Sol
So put on your best boys
Re
And I'll wear my pearls
