Intro: A E B C#m

      A
If I die young
       E
Bury me in satin
     B          C#m
Lay me down on a bed of roses
          A       E
Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

 Oh oh, oh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be

No, ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
 A         E       B C#m
The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom
     B               C#m
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
   A           E
I've never known the loving of a man
     B                 C#m
but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
      A                   E
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever

So put on your best boys

          A
A penny for my thoughts
     E
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
 B                 C#m
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
   A                 E
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing

Funny when you're dead how people start listening

Gather up your tears

Keep them in your pocket
