The Band Perry - If I Die Young (Ukulele arrangement) (Original key: E major, capo on 2nd fret)

G D A Bm If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses G D A Bm Sink me in the river at dawn, send me away with the words of a love song G D A Bm A Uh oh, uh oh

G D Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother A Bm She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh well G D Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no A Bm Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby G D A Bm G D A Bm A The sharp knife of a short life, oh well, I've had just enough time

G D A Bm If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses G D A Bm Sink me in the river at dawn, send me away with the words of a love song G D A Bm G D A Bm A The sharp knife of a short life, oh well, I've had just enough time

G D And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom A Bm I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger G D I've never known the loving of a man A Bm But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand G D There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever A Bm Who would have thought forever could be severed by G D A Bm G D A Bm A The sharp knife of a short life, oh well, I've had just enough time

[Interlude 1]: G D A Bm x2

G D A So put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls, what I never did is done

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