Capo- Fret 1 (Fret 2 sounds good too)
[Chorus]
F#
If I die young
C
Bury me in satin
G Ab
Lay me down on a bed of roses
F# C
Sink me in the river at dawn
G Ab
Send me away with the words of a love song
F# C G
Oh oh, oh oh...
[1st Verse]
F#
Lord, make me a rainbow
C
I'll shine down on my mother
G
She'll know I'm safe with you
Ab
When she stands under my colors
F# C
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no
G Ab F#
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
C G
The sharp knife on a short life
F# C G
Well, I've had just enough time
[Chorus]
[2nd Verse]
F#
And I'll be wearing white
C
When I come into Your kingdom
G Ab
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
F# C
I've never known the loving of a man
G Ab
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
F#
There's a boy here in town
C
Says he'll love me forever
G Ab F#
Who'd of thought forever could be severed by
F# C G
The sharp knife of a short life
F# C G
Well I've had just enough time
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
F#
So put on your best, boys
C
And I'll wear my pearls
G Eb
What I never did is done
F#
A penny for my thoughts
C
Oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
G Ab
There worth so much more after I'm a goner
F# C
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
G Ab
Funny how your dead when people start listening...
[Chorus]
F# C
So put on your best, boys
G
And I'll wear my pearls...
Thanks! :)
