* If I die young bury me in satin
           A                        Bm 
Lay me down on a bed of roses
                      Gmaj7 D
Sink me in the river at dawn
                A                                Bm 
Send me away with the words of a love song
Gmaj7 D     A 
Oh oh, oh oh

                         Gmaj7                                  D
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
                      A                                                          Bm 
She'll know I'm safe with You when she stands under my colors
           Gmaj7                            D
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, No
A                                Bm 
Ain't even gray but she buries her baby
Gmaj7            D              A  Bm 
The sharp knife of a short life
Gmaj7    D                      A 
Well, I've had just enough time *

Gmaj7            D              A  Bm
The sharp knife of a short life
Gmaj7    D                      A
Well, I've had just enough time

                           Gmaj7         D
And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom
          A                                 Bm
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
    Gmaj7                D
I've never known the loving of a man but it 
A                                     Bm
sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
             Gmaj7                              D
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
A                                     Bm
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
Gmaj7            D              A  Bm 
The sharp knife of a short life
        Gmaj7  D                A
Well, I've had just enough time

     Gmaj7                             D 
So put on your best boys And I'll wear my pearls
A
What I never did is done

                       Gmaj7                   D/F#
A penny for my thoughts Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
A                                       Bm
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
       Gmaj7                             D/F#
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
A                                        Bm
Funny when you're dead how people start listening *

     Gmaj7         D/F#        A        Bm
Oh oh, the ballad of a dove Go in peace and love
Gmaj7                     D/F#
Gather up your tears Keep em in your pocket
A                                           Bm
Save em for a time when you're really gonna need them

          Gmaj7            D              A  Bm 
Oh oh, the sharp knife of a short life
        Gmaj7  D                A
Well, I've had just enough time
     Gmaj7                      D                              
So put on your best boys And I'll wear my pearls
