If I die young
      D MajorD
Bury me in satin
    A augmentedA        Bm4
Lay me down on a bed of roses
        G+G     D MajorD

Send me away with the words of a love song

Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be
  A augmentedA           Bm4
No, ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
 G+G       D MajorD     A augmentedA Bm4
The sharp knife of a short life

          G+G        D MajorD
And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom
    A augmentedA           Bm4
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
  G+G        D MajorD
I've never known the loving of a man
    A augmentedA             Bm4
but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
     G+G              D MajorD
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
A augmentedA            Bm4
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

So put on your best boys

And I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

        G+G
A augmentedA penny for my thoughts
    D MajorD
Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
 A augmentedA             Bm4
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
   G+G             D MajorD
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing
A augmentedA             Bm4
Funny when you're dead how people start listening

 Go in peace and love

Gather up your tears
D MajorD
Keep them in your pocket

Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them.
