The Chords G,D,A&Bm might soung good but when played with the song they don't match, 
they are to low.
These chords below match a bit better.
It is easier to play this song using power chords.

            
If I die young
              
Bury me in sat

    
in
              
Lay me down on

            
 a bed of rose

   
s
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
            
Oh oh, oh oh

     

              
Lord make me a

            
 rainbow, I'll

              
 shine down on

       
 my mother
              
She'll know I'

             
m safe with Yo

             
u when she sta

              
nds under my c

     
olors
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be
No, ain't even grey  but she buries her baby
            
The sharp knif

             
e of a short l

Well, I've had just enough time

I've never kno

 me forever
            
Who would have

And I'll wear 

my pearls

What I never d

They're worth

And maybe then

Funny when you
