If I die young, bury [E] me in satin, lay [B] me down on a bed [C#m] of roses, sink me [A] in the river [Em] at dawn, send [B] me away with the words [C#m] of a love song
[A]
Oh [E] oh, oh [B] oh, Lord make [A] me a rainbow, I'll shine down [E] on my mother, she'll know I'm [B] safe with you when she stands [C#] under my colors
Oh, [A] laugh ain't always [E] what you think it ought to be, you [B] know, ain't even gray [C#m] but she buries her [A] baby, the short [E] enough of a short [B]
[C#m] life
Oh [A] well, I've [E] had just enough [B] time, if I [A] die young, bury [E] me in satin, lay [B] me down on a bed [C#m] of roses, sink me [A] in the river [E] at dawn, send [B] me away with the words [C#m] of a love song
[A] The short [E] enough of a [B] short life, [C#m] oh [A] well, I've [E] had just enough [B] time, and I'll be [A] wearing white [E] when I come into your kingdom, [B] I'm as green as the ring [C#m] on my little cold finger
[A] I've never known [E] the love of a man, [B] but it sure felt nice [C#m] when he was holding my hand, [A] there's a boy hearing tales [E] that says he'll love me [A] forever, [B] who would have thought [C#m] forever could be [A] severed by the short [E] enough of a [B] short life

[C#m] [A] so put on your best [E] boys and I'll wear my pearls, [B] what I never did is done, I pin it for [A] my flock, so no, [E] I'll sell them for a [F#] dollar, [B] they're worth so much more, [C#m]
after [E] I'm a goner
And [A] maybe then you'll hear [E] the words I've been singing, [B] funny when you're dead how [C#m] people start listening,

[A] [E] The ballad of the [B] dove, go with [C#m] peace and love, [A] gather up your tears, [E] keep them in your pocket, [B] save them for a [C#m] time when you're really gonna need them, [A] oh, the short enough [E] of a short [B] [C#m] life, oh [A] well, [E] I've had just enough [B] time, [A] so put on your best boys [E]
