If I die [G]young
Bury me in [D]satin
Lay me d[A]own on a bed of [Bm4]roses
Sink me in the [G]river at da[D]wn
Send me [A]away with the words of a [Bm4]love song
[G]  Oh oh,[D] oh oh [A]

Lord make me a [G]rainbow, I'll shine down on my[D] mother
She'll know I'm safe with [A]You when she stands under [Bm4]my colors
Oh [G]and life ain't always what you thi[D]nk it ought to be
No,[A] ain't even grey, but [Bm4]she buries her baby
T[G]he sharp knife[D] of a short[A] li[Bm4]fe
Well,[G] I've had [D]just enough[A] time

If I die [G]young
Bury me in [D]satin
Lay me d[A]own on a bed of [Bm4]roses
Sink me in the [G]river at da[D]wn
Send me [A]away with the words of a love [Bm4]song

The [G]sharp knife of a [D]short li[A]fe [Bm4]
Well,[G] I've had [D]just enough [A]time

And I'll be wearing [G]white when I come[D] into Your kingdom
I'm as [A]green as the ring on my[Bm4] little cold finger
I've[G] never known the [D]loving of a man
but it [A]sure felt nice when he was[Bm4] holding my hand
There's a[G] boy here in town says he'll [D]love me forever
[A]Who would have thought fo[Bm4]rever could be severed by

The[G] sharp knife o[D]f a short l[A]ife[Bm4]
Well,[G] I've had [D]just enough [A]time

[G] [D] [A] Bm4 x2

So[G] put on your best boys
And [D]I'll wear my pearls
[A]What I never did is done

A penny for my [G]thoughts
Oh no, I[D]'ll sell them for a dollar
Th[A]ey're worth so much more a[Bm4]fter I'm a goner
And m[G]aybe then you'll hear the [D]words I've been singing
[A]Funny when you're dead how [Bm4]people start listening

[G] [D] [A] [Bm4]

If I die [G]young
Bury me in [D]satin
Lay me d[A]own on a bed of [Bm4]roses
Sink me in the [G]river at da[D]wn
Send me [A]away with the words of a [Bm4]love song

[G] Oh oh, the b[D]allad of a dove
[A]  Go in p[Bm4]eace and love
G[G]ather up your tears
[D]Keep them in your pocket
Sa[A]ve them for a time when you're r[Bm4]eally gonna need them.

Oh oh, the[G] sharp knife of a[D] short l[A]ife  [Bm4]
Well,[G] I've had [D]just enough [A]time

So [G]put on your best boys
And [D]I'll wear my pearls
