[Start]

[Verse]
N.C.                           
If I die young bury me in satin
N.C.                         
Lay me down on a bed of roses
               A     E      
Sink me in the river at dawn
        B             C#m             A   
Send me away with the words of a love song
E    B   
Ohoh ohoh
          A                            E           
Lord make me a rainbow I'll shine down on my mother
                B                                   C#m7     
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
   A                           E                          B 
Oh well life ain't always what you'd think it ought to be no
                    C#m7           A   
Ain't even grey but she buries her baby
          E                B    C#m 
The sharp knife of a short life well
A        E             B    B7
I've had ■ just enough time ■ 


[Chorus]
         A                E    
If I die young bury me in satin
       B                C#m7 
Lay me down on a bed of roses
               A        E   
Sink me in the river at dawn
        B                      C#m7   A   
Send me away with the words of a love song


[Verse]
          E                B    C#m7 A   
The sharp knife of a short life ■    well
     E               B    B7
I've had just enough time ■ 
                                 E                     
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
       B                       C#m7   C#m        
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
A                    E              
I've never known the lovin' of a man
       B                          C#m7    C#m C#m7
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my  hand
          A                           E              
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever


[Chorus]
B                      C#m                      A 
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
          E                B    C#m A   
The sharp knife of a short life ■   well


[Inst]
     E               B    A E
I've had just enough time ■ ■
B       C#m A         E B

[Bridge]
C#m7 A                   E                           
■    So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
B                       
What I never did is done
               A              E                    B     
A penny for my thoughts oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
                      C#m7                  
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
    A                 E                               
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'
B                          C#m                    A E
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin' ■ ■

■ Oh if I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn
        B                        C#m  C#m7
Send me away with the words of a love song
A        E           B   
Ohoh The ballad of a dove
        C#m7          
Go with peace and love
A                    E                      
Gather up your tears keep 'em in your pocket
B                               C#m7                     
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need them oh
          E                B    C#m7
The sharp knife of a short life well
A E                    B    E
