♫ Intro:

G  D  A


♫ Verse 1:
A                     G
I put one hand in the air
               D
I’m closing my eyes
                 A                          Bm
My whole heart’s beating for the very first time
                 G                       D
That boy here in town says ‘Darlin’ just drive’
                       A                     D
It’s like the gates of Heaven just opened up wide
                   G                  D
Lord, I’m glad you didn’t pay me no attention
                 A                        Bm
When I sent up a prayer of a child’s premonition
Bm
Cause…

♫ Pre-Chorus:
G           D      A
I’ve had time to bloom
              Bm7
Plantin’ them roses instead and
G          D     A   N.C.
I’m changing my tune from when I said


♫ Chorus:
         G
If I die young
           D
Bury me in satin
       A                Bm7
Lay me down on a bed of roses
               G        D
Sink me in the river at dawn
         A                       Bm7
Send me away with the words of a love song
G               D          A
The sharp knife of a short life
    Bm7              G           D         A
Now I know there’s no such thing as enough time


♫ Verse 2:
                         G
I’m looking more like my mother
                  D
I love her to the bone
                  A                            Bm7
I know it's gonna kill me on the day she comes home
                    G                         D
I’ll pour some holy water on a daughter of my own
                  A                        Bm7
I’ll pass my name down ‘fore it’s on a headstone
             G
It was so dramatic
              D
Beautiful but tragic
            A                          Bm7
Throwing my emotions in a poem ‘bout a casket
Bm7
But…


♫ Pre-Chorus:
G           D      A
I’ve had time to bloom
              Bm7
Plantin’ them roses instead and
G          D     A   N.C.
I’m changing my tune from when I said


♫ Chorus:
         G
If I die young
           D
Bury me in satin
       A                Bm7
Lay me down on a bed of roses
               G        D
Sink me in the river at dawn
         A                       Bm7
Send me away with the words of a love song
G               D          A
The sharp knife of a short life
    Bm7              G           D         A
Now I know there’s no such thing as enough time


♫ Interlude:
G  D  A  Bm
G  D  A


♫ Bridge:
                     D
I’m so glad I’m here now
                          A
Instead of somewhere underground
                          Bm
I think I’ll always wanna stay
             G             A
I guess it’s too late anyway


♫ Chorus:
       G
To die young
           D
Bury me in satin
       A                Bm7
Lay me down on a bed of roses
               G        D
Sink me in the river at dawn
         A                       Bm7
Send me away with the words of a love song
G               D          A
The sharp knife of a short life
    Bm7              G           D         A
Now I know there’s no such thing as enough time


♫ Outro:
   G                D
So put on your best boys
                 A
And I’ll wear my pearls
