 Chorus:
            E                B
 If I die young, bury me in satin
          F#             G#m
 Lay me down on a bed of roses
                 E         B
 Sink me in the river at dawn
            F#                     G#m
 Send me away with the words of a love song
E   B      F#  G#m
 Oh oh, oh oh
 Verse:

 Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
                            F#                          G#m
 She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors oh and
E                             B
 Life ain't always what you think it ought to be no
F#                        G#m
 Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
 Pre-Chorus:
E            B               F#  G#m
 The sharp knife of a short liiiiiife, well
E      B               F#    G#m
 I've had just enough time
 Chorus:
            E                B
 If I die young, bury me in satin

 Lay me down on a bed of roses
                 E         B
 Sink me in the river at dawn
            F#                     G#m
 Send me away with the words of a love song
E            B               F#  G#m
 The sharp knife of a short liiiiiife, well
E      B               F#    (Am)
 I've had just enough time
 Verse:
                       E            B
 And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
          F#                     G#m
 I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger, I've
E                 B
 Never known the lovin' of a man
         F#                        G#m
 But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
E                        B
 Boy here in town says he'll love my forever
   F#                     G#m
 Who would have thought forever could be severed by
 Pre-Chorus:
E            B               F#  G#m
 The sharp knife of a short liiiiiife, well
E      B               F#    G#m
 I've had just enough time

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

 Lay me down on a bed of roses

 Sink me in the river at dawn
            G#                     A#m
 Send me away with the words of a love song

 Oh oh the ballad of a dove 
G#        A#m
 Go with peace and love

 Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
  G#                            A#m
 Save them for a time when your really gonna need them, oh
F#           C#              G#   A#m
 The sharp knife of a short liiiiiife, well
F#     C#              G#   A#m
 I've had just enough time
 Outtro:
