If I Die Young Chords by The Band Perry

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
If [A] I die young, bury me in [B] satin
Lay me down on a bed [C#m] of roses
Sink [A] me in the river at dawn
[E] Send me [B] away with the words of [C#m] a love _ [A] song
Oh _ [E]
oh, oh _ [B] _ oh _ _
Lord, make me [A] a rainbow, I'll shine down on [E] my mother
She'll know I'm [B] safe with you when she stands under [C#] my colors
Oh, [A] and life ain't always [E] what you think it ought to be
You know it [B] ain't even gray, but she buries her [A] baby
To shorten [E] off of a short [B] _ _ life _
_ [C#m] Oh [A] well, _ _ _ [E]
I've had just enough [B] time _ _ _
If I [A] die young, bury [E] me in satin
Lay me [B] 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] To shorten [E] off of a [B] short _ _ _ _ [C#m] life
Oh [A] well, _ I've [E] had just enough [B] time _ _ _
And I'll be [A] wearing white when [E] 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] _
_ _ [B] but a chirp
And that's when [C#m] he was calling my name
[A] There's a boy here in town [E] who says he'll love me forever
[B] Who would have thought [C#m]
forever could be [A] severed by
The _ [E]
sharpness of a [B] short _ _ life
_ [C#m] _ [A] Oh well, _ _ [E]
I've had just enough [B] time _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ So [A] put on your best boys [Em] and I'll wear my pearls
_ [B] What I never did is done
I [A] pin it for my fox, oh no, [B] I'll sell him [E] for a dollar
They're worth so much more [C#m] after I'm a [A] goner
And maybe then you'll hear [B] the words I've been [E] singing
[B] Funny when you're dead [C#m] how people start listening
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ If I [A] die young, bury [E] me in satin
Lay me [B]
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 _ [E] ballad of the dove
[B] _
_ Go [C#m] with peace and love
[A]
Gather up your tears, [E] keep them in your pocket
[B]
Save them for a time [C#m] when you're really gonna need them
[A]
Oh, the [E] sharpness of a short [B] _
_ life
_ _ Oh [A] well, _ _ _ [E] I've had just enough [B]
time
_ _ _ _ _ [A] So put on your best boys _ _ and I'll wear my pearls _ _
