[Intro]
         G 
If I die young 
           D 
Bury me in satin 
        A               D6add9/A 
Lay me down on a bed of roses 
               G          D 
Sink me in the river at dawn 
        A                        D6add9/A 
Send me away with the words of a love song 
G       D      A 
  Oh oh, oh oh
[Estrofe]
               G                             D 
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother 
                          A                         D6add9/A 
She'll know I'm safe with You when she stands under my colors 
   G                                 D 
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be 
   A                     D6add9/A 
No, ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
[Puente]
 G             D          A  D6add9/A 
The sharp knife of a short life 
     G         D          D6add9/A 
Well, I've had just enough time
[Refrão]
         G 
If I die young 
           D 
Bury me in satin 
        A               D6add9/A 
Lay me down on a bed of roses 
               G          D 
Sink me in the river at dawn 
        A                             D6add9/A 
Send me away with the words of a love song
[Puente]
    G                D       A  D6add9/A 
The sharp knife of a short life 
     G         D           A 
Well, I've had just enough time
[Estrofe]
                    G                D 
And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom 
       A                      D6add9/A 
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger 
    G                D 
I've never known the loving of a man 
       A                         D6add9/A 
but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand 
         G                            D 
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever 
A                        D6add9/A 
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
[Puente]
   G             D          A  D6add9/A 
The sharp knife of a short life 
     G         D           A 
Well, I've had just enough time
[Instrumental]
G D A D6add9/A x2
[Medio]
  G 
So put on your best boys 
    D 
And I'll wear my pearls 
A 
What I never did is done  
               G 
A penny for my thoughts 
        D 
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar 
  A                         D6add9/A 
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner 
     G                         D 
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing 
A                          D6add9/A 
Funny when you're dead how people start listening
[Instrumental]

 G 
Gather up your tears 
D 
Keep them in your pocket 
  A                               D6add9/A 
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them  
          G                D       A    D6add9/A 
Oh oh, the sharp knife of a short life 
     G         D           A 
Well, I've had just enough time  
   G 
So put on your best boys 
D
