Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river,
at dawn
Send me away with the words
of a love song
Penny for my thoughts
No, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more
after I'm goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words
I've been singing
Funny when you're dead how people
start listening
It's the sharp knife,
of a short life
Well, I've had just
enough time.
If I die young
Bury me in satin
Lay me down on a
bed of roses
Sink me in the river,
at dawn
Send me away with the words
of a love song
Oh oh,
the ballad of a dove
Go in peace
and love
Gather up your tears
Keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need them
Oh, the sharp knife,
of a short life
Well, I've had just
enough time
So put on your best boys
And I'll wear my pearls
End: [Strum down, open; Strum up, A; Strum down, open]
