A If I die young E Bury me in satin B Dbm Lay me down on a bed of roses A E Sink me in the river at dawn B Dbm Send me away with the words of a love song A E B Oh oh, oh oh A E Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother B Dbm She'll know I'm safe with You when she stands under my colors A E Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be B Dbm No, ain't even grey, but she buries her baby A E B Dbm The sharp knife of a short life A E B Well, I've had just enough time A If I die young E Bury me in satin B Dbm Lay me down on a bed of roses A E Sink me in the river at dawn B Dbm Send me away with the words of a love song A E B Dbm The sharp knife of a short life A E B Well, I've had just enough time A E And I'll be wearing white when I come into Your kingdom B Dbm I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger A E I've never known the loving of a man B Dbm but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand A E There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever B Dbm Who would have thought forever could be severed by A E B Dbm The sharp knife of a short life A E B Well, I've had just enough time A E B Dbm x2 A So put on your best boys E And I'll wear my pearls B What I never did is done A A penny for my thoughts E Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar B Dbm They're worth so much more after I'm a goner A E And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing B Dbm Funny when you're dead how people start listening A E B Dbm A If I die young E Bury me in satin B Dbm Lay me down on a bed of roses A E Sink me in the river at dawn B Dbm Send me away with the words of a love song A E Oh oh, the ballad of a dove B Dbm Go in peace and love A Gather up your tears E Keep them in your pocket B Dbm Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them. A E B Dbm Oh oh, the sharp knife of a short life A E B Well, I've had just enough time A So put on your best boys E And I'll wear my pearls

an easier way to play is [Intro]
|C |Am |Em |Em D#m |Dm |Dm |Em |Em | x2
[Verse]
C Am
I guess I should stop
Em Dm
Looking out for you
Em
Like I always do
C Am
When will you
Em Dm
Start looking out for me too
Em
Instead of leaving me staring at my shoes
C Am Em
Just the way you’re glancing at me
Dm
Something about you
Em
Just makes me feel guilty for
C Am
Liking you
Em Dm
When you’re with him
Em
When you’re with him
[Chorus]
F Em Dm
This is a love song for a girl
Dm
Who will never know it’s about her
F Em
Know it’s pretty stupid
Dm
But I’m much too shy to tell her
F Em Dm
She’s beaming that smile all the while
F Em G
I’m all tripped up on my own throat
I guess there is no hope
|C |Am |Em |Em D#m |Dm |Dm |Em |Em | x2
[Verse]
C Am Em
When you’re walking out in the snow
Dm Em
I say I guess I should go
C Am Em
And we’re talking about someone else
Dm Em
When we should be talking about ourselves
C Am Em
It’s the same old situation you’ve always got me waiting
Dm Em
Come on dear I think times a-wastin’
C Am Em
Before we have to go back inside
Dm Em
And return to our normal lives
[Chorus]
F Em Dm
This is a love song for a girl
Dm
Who will never know it’s about her
F Em
Know it’s pretty stupid
Dm
But I’m much too shy to tell her
F Em Dm
She’s beaming that smile all the while
F Em G
I’m all tripped up on my own throat
G
I guess there is no hope

have fun playing <33 btw strumming pattern is DD UDU 😀
she said this song reminds her of me
may my future boyfriend play this song for me
I play A7m instead of Dbm, it’s easier and I think it sounds better, its Bm, but two frets down
+3 is alot easier 🙂
STUMMING PATTERN????
i like to do +3 with capo on third fret (to stay in key i guess) but instead of using the Ebm chord after Em i like to just slide the Em up the fretboard by 1
i think this actually sounds the most like the song with it transposed @Say what? +3 but with ur capo on 1st fret
I’ve been waiting for this song!
