can get the jist. Hope You enjoy.
Capo on the: 2nd Fret
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
Penny for my thoughts
No, I ll sell them for a dollar
They re worth so much more
after I m goner
And maybe then you ll hear the words
I ve been singing
Funny when you re dead how people
start listening
It s the sharp knife,
of a short life
Well, I ve had just
enough time.
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,
the ballad of a dove
Go in peace
and love
Gather up your tears
Keep em in your pocket
Save em for a time when you re really gonna need them
Oh, the sharp knife,
of a short life
Well, I ve had just
enough time
So put on your best boys
And I ll wear my pearls
End: [Strum down, open; Strum up, A; Strum down, open]
