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

[Verse 1]
---------------------
               A                              E
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
                          B
She'll know I'm safe with you when
                    C#m7
She stands under my colours, oh and
A                           E
 Life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no
B                         C#m7           A               E
 Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby The sharp knife
                B C#m7
of a short life,
     A        E                B B7
Well, I've had just enough time

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
         A                E
If I die young bury me in satin
           B                 C#m7
Lay me down on a bed of roses
               A            E
Sink me in the river at dawn
            B                    C#m7
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   B7
Well, I've had just enough time

[Verse 2]
---------------------
                    A                E
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
       B                       C#m7
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#m7
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
             A                            E
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
B                             C#m7                   A               E
Who would have thought forever    could be severed by The sharp knife
                B C#m7
of a short life,
     A        E                B B7
Well, I've had just enough time

B
What I never did is done
               A                        E
A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell    them for a dollar
B                            C#m7
They're worth so much more after    I'm a goner
    A                               E
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
B                                C#m

Send me away with the words of a love song
   A            E
Uh oh The ballad
of a dove
B             C#m7
 Go with peace    and love
A                         E
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

Save 'em for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh The sharp knife
                B C#m7
