If I Die Young Acordes

	   
            G 
If I die young 
                  D4  D 
Bury me in satin 
              A          Bm 
Lay me down on a bed of roses 
                G          D4 D 
Sink me in the river at dawn 
            A                          Bm 
Send me away with the words of a love song 
G          D4 D    A A7 
Oh oh, oh oh 

                 G                          D4  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 
             G                                 D4 D 
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be 
       A                                    Bm 
No, ain't even grave but she buries her baby 
    G               D         A   Bm 
The sharp knife of a short life 
      G                D           A 
Well, I've had just enough time 

             G 
If I die young 
                  D4  D 
Bury me in satin 
              A          Bm 
Lay me down on a bed of roses 
                G          D4 D 
Sink me in the river at dawn 
            A                          Bm 
Send me away with the words of a love song 
    G               D         A   Bm 
The sharp knife of a short life 
      G                D           A 
Well, I've had just enough time 

And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom 
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger 
I've never known the loving of a man but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand 
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever 
Who would have thought forever could be severed by 
The sharp knife of a short life 
Well, I've had just enough time 

G 
So put on your best boys 
D 
And I'll wear my pearls 
A 
What I never did is done 

A penny for my thoughts 
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar 
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner 
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing 
Funny when you're dead how people start listening 

             G 
If I die young 
                  D4  D 
Bury me in satin 
              A          Bm

Sink me in the river at dawn 
            A                          Bm 
Send me away with the words of a love song 
    G               D         A   Bm 
The sharp knife of a short life 
      G                D           A 
Well, I've had just enough time 

G                   D 
 Oh oh, the ballad of a dove 
A                  Bm 
Go in peace and love 
                      G 
Gather up your tears 
                   Bm 
Keep em in your pocket 
                          A                   D 
Save em for a time when you're really gonna need them. 

    G               D         A   Bm 
The sharp knife of a short life 
      G                D           A 
Well, I've had just enough time
