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