Capo 2 - Play G
Gmaj7 D
* 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
