Only the Good Die Young

F Come out Virginia C don’t let me wait, you F Catholic girls start G much too C late
Ah but F sooner or later it C comes down to Am fate, I F might as well be the G one

Well they F showed you a statue and C told to pray, F built you a temple G locked you C away
F they never told you the C price that you Am pay, the F things that you might have G done

Ch{ For only the good die C young F that’s what I G said,
C only the good die young, F only the G good die young C

You F heard I run with a C dangerous crowd, we F ain’t too pretty, G ain’t too C proud
F might be laughing a C bit too Am loud, but F that never hurt no G one

So come F on Virginia, C show me a sign, F send up a signal I’ll G throw you a C line
F That stained glass curtain you’re C hiding Am behind F never lets in the G sun

CH{ Darlin’ only the good die C young F G I tell ya C only the good die young F

You got a G nice white dress and a F party on your C confirmation,
You got a D brand new soul and a F cross of gold

Well G Virginia they didn’t give you F quite enough C information
You didn’t D count on me, when you were counting on your F rosary
G oh oh oh oh

And they F say there’s a heaven for C those who will wait,
F some say it’s better but G I say it C ain’t
I’d rather F laugh with the sinners than C cry with the Am saints,
the F sinners are much more G fun

CH{ …C…..young F only the G good die C young G F C D F

You said your G mother told you all I could F give you was a C reputation
She never D cared for me, but did she ever say a F prayer for me?
G oh oh oh oh

F Come out, Come out, Come out, C Virginia, don’t let me wait,
F Catholic girls start G much too C late
but F sooner or later it C comes down to Am fate, I F might as well be the G one

Only the good die C young F I tell you G baby, C only the good die F young,
only the G good die C young F G C
