If I Die Young The Band Perry
Standard Tunning
Listen to the song for the strum pattern,
On the first chorus when it starts out give each note one strum until the oh part
If I die [A]young
Bury me in [E]satin
Lay me d[B]own on a bed of[C#m] roses
Sink me in the [A]river at d[E]awn
Send me [B]away with the words of a [C#m]love song
[A] Oh oh,[E] oh oh[B]
Lord make me a ra[A]inbow, I'll sh[E]ine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with [B]You when she
[C#m]stands under my colors
Oh [A]and life ain't always what you thi[E]nk it ought to be
No,[B] ain't even grey, but she [C#m]buries her baby
T[A]he sharp knife[E] of a short[B] li[C#m]fe
Well,[A] I've had [E]just enough[B] time
If I die [A]young
Bury me in [E]satin
Lay me d[B]own on a bed of [C#m]roses
Sink me in the [A]river at da[E]wn
Send me [B]away with the words of a love [C#m]song
The [A]sharp knife of a [E]short li[B]fe[C#m]
Well,[A] I've had [E]just enough [B]time
And I'll be wearing wh[A]ite when I co[E]me into Your kingdom
I'm as [B]green as the ring on m[C#m]y little cold finger
I've[A] never known the [E]loving of a man
but it [B]sure felt nice when he wa[C#m]s holding my hand
There's a b[A]oy here in town sa[E]ys he'll love me forever
[B]Who would have thought fo[C#m]rever could be severed by
The[A] sharp knife o[E]f a short [B]lif[C#m]e
Well,[A] I've had [E]just enough [B]time
A E B C#m x2
So[A] put on your best boys
And [E]I'll wear my pearls
[B]What I never did is done
A penny for my [A]thoughts
Oh no, I[E]'ll sell them for a dollar
Th[B]ey're worth so much more a[C#m]fter I'm a goner
And m[A]aybe then you'll hear the [E]words I've been singing
[B]Funny when you're dead how [C#m]people start listening
[A] [E] [B] [C#m]
If I die [A]young
Bury me in [E]satin
Lay me d[B]own on a bed of [C#m]roses
Sink me in the [A]river at da[E]wn
Send me [B]away with the words of a [C#m]love song
[A] Oh oh, the b[E]allad of a dove
[B] Go in p[C#m]eace and love
G[A]ather up your tears
[E]Keep them in your pocket
Sa[B]ve them for a time when you're r[C#m]eally gonna need them.
Oh oh, the[A] sharp knife of a[E] short l[B]ife[C#m]
Well,[A] I've had[E] just enough[B] time
So [A]put on your best boys
And [E]I'll wear my pearls
