This is more for coffee house performances. It's shorter, a tab less morbid and so 
on. Sorry for the choppyness of this. It doesn't feel like working with me, you 
can get the jist. Hope You enjoy.

            G
If I die young
                    D
Bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses
                          G
Sink me in the river, 
     D
at dawn
                  A 
Send me away with the words
                D
of a love song

                         G
Penny for my thoughts
                                      D
No, I'll sell them for a dollar
               A 
They're worth so much more
                 D
after I'm goner
                                        G  
And maybe then you'll hear the words
D
I've been singing
                                   A 
Funny when you're dead how people
         D
start listening
                        G     
It's the sharp knife, 
                  D
of a short life
                  G 
Well, I've had just
                D    A  
enough time.

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


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

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

                                  G
So put on your best boys
                               D
And I'll wear my pearls
