Chorus 1
If I die (A major) young, bury me in (E major) satin
Lay me down (B major) on a bed of roses (C sharp minor)
Sink me in the (A major) river at dawn (E major)
Send me away (B major) with the words of a (C sharp minor) love song
(A major) Oh- oh, (E major) oh- oh (B major)
Verse 1
Lord, make me a (A major) rainbow,
I'll shine down on my (E major) mother
She'll know I'm safe with (B major) you
when she stands under my (C sharp minor) colors
Oh, and (A major) life ain't always
what you (E major) think it ought to be, no
(B major) Ain't even gray, but she (C sharp minor) buries her baby
(A major) The sharp knife (E major) of a short life (B major) (C sharp minor)
Well, (A major) I've had (E major) just enough time (B major)
Chorus 2
If I die (A major) young, bury me in (E major) satin
Lay me down (B major) on a bed of roses (C sharp minor)
Sink me in the (A major) river at dawn (E major)
Send me away (B major) with the words of a (C sharp minor) love song
(A major) The sharp knife (E major) of a short life (B major) (C sharp minor)
Well, (A major) I've had (E major) just enough time (B major)
Verse 2
And I'll be wearing (A major) white
when I come (E major) into your kingdom
I'm as (B major) green as the ring on my (C sharp minor) little cold finger
I've (A major) never known the lovin' (E major) of a man
But it (B major) sure felt nice
when he was (C sharp minor) holding my hand
There's a (A major) boy here in town,
says he'll (E major) love me forever
(B major) Who would have thought
forever (C sharp minor) could be severed by (A major)
The sharp knife (E major) of a short life (B major) (C sharp minor)
Well, (A major) I've had (E major) just enough time (B major)

Bridge 1
So (A major) put on your best, boys,
and (E major) I'll wear my pearls
(B major) What I never did is done
Verse 3
A penny for my (A major) thoughts, oh no,
I'll sell (E major) 'em for a dollar
(B major) They're worth so much more after (C sharp minor) I'm a goner
And (A major) maybe then you'll hear
the words (E major) I've been singin'
(B major) Funny when you're dead,
how people (C sharp minor) start listenin'
(A major) (E major) (B major)
Chorus 3
If I die (A major) young, bury me in (E major) satin
Lay me down (B major) on a bed of roses (C sharp minor)
Sink me in the (A major) river at dawn (E major)
Send me away (B major) with the words of a (C sharp minor) love song
Oh- (A major) oh (oh-oh) the ballad (E major) of a dove
(B major) Go with peace (C sharp minor) and love
(A major) Gather up your tears, keep (E major) 'em in your pocket
(B major) Save 'em for a time
when you're (C sharp minor) really gonna need 'em, oh (A major)
The sharp knife (E major) of a short life (B major) (C sharp minor)
Well, (A major) I've had (E major) just enough time (B major)
Outro 1
So (A major) put on your best, boys,
(E major) and I'll wear my pearls
