If I Die Young Chords by The Band Perry

[Start]

[Chorus]
     A                 E       
If I die young bury me in satin
       B                C#sus4
Lay me down on a bed of roses 
           A                
Sink me in the river at dawn
                                 C#m7      Amaj7 A
Send me away with the words of a love song ■     ■
B    E B   
Ohoh ■ ohoh


[Verse]
               A                             E     
Lord make me a rainbow I'll shine down on my mother
                     B                                 C#m   
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
       A                            E                    B 
Oh and ■ life ain't always what you think it ought to be no
                        C#m        A   
Ain't even gray but she buries her baby
          E                B    C#m
The sharp knife of a short life ■  
          A E               B   
Well I've ■ had just enough time


[Chorus]
         A                E    
If I die young bury me in satin
       B                C#m  
Lay me down on a bed of roses
               A        E   
Sink me in the river at dawn
        B                        C#m      
Send me away with the words of a love song
A           E                B    C#m7
■ The sharp knife of a short life ■   
A         E               B   
Well I've had just enough time


[Verse]
                    A     Amaj7        E                     
And I'll be wearing white ■     when I come into your kingdom
       B                       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#m            
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
          Amaj7 A                       E              
There's a boy   here in town says he'll love me forever


[Chorus]
B                      C#m7                     A 
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
          E                B    C#m
The sharp knife of a short life ■  
A         E               B   
Well I've had just enough time

[Bridge]
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 'em for a dollar
                           C#m                  
They're worth so much more ■   after I'm a goner
A                          E                   B      
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'
                  C#m                            
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses
               A        E   
Sink me in the river at dawn

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#m          C#m7 C#m A 
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em oh
          E                B    C#m
The sharp knife of a short life ■  
A             E             B   
Well I've had ■ just enough time
A                        E                        
So put on your best boys ■ and I'll wear my pearls
