 I've had just enough time

 Verse: 
                       F            C 
 And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom 
          G                      Am 
 I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger, I've 
F                 C 
 Never known the lovin' of a man 
         G                         Am 
 But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a 
F                        C 
 Boy here in town says he'll love my forever

 So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls 
   G 
 What I never did is done 
                  F 
 A penny for my thoughts, oh no 
       C 
 I'll sell them for a dollar 
    G                       Am 
 They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
