The Band Perry

Text File

Standard Tuning, Capo 2 G If I die young D Bury me in satin A D Lay me down on a bed of roses G D Sink me in the river at dawn A D Send me away with the words of a love song G D A Oh oh, oh oh G D Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother A D She'll know I'm safe with You when she stands under my colors G D Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be A D No, ain't even grey (?) but she buries her baby G D A The sharp knife of a short life G D A Well, I've had just enough time (Chords are the same for chorus and second verse) 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 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 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 would have thought forever could be severed by The sharp knife of a short life Well, I've had just enough time G So put on your best boys D And I'll wear my pearls A What I never did is done (Chords same as 1st & 2nd verse) A penny for my thoughts Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar They're worth so much more after I'm a goner And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing Funny when you're dead how people start listening (chords same as 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 G D Oh oh, the ballad of a dove A D Go in peace and love G Gather up your tears D Keep em in your pocket A D Save em for a time when you're really gonna need them. (Same as before) Oh 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 A
