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