"Only the Good Die Young" by Billy Joel
[F]Come out Virginia, [C]don't
let me me [Am]wait
You [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
They [F]showed you a statue and [C]told
you to [Am]pray
They [F]built you a temple and [G]locked
you a[C]way
But [F]they never told you the [C]price
that you [Am]pay
For [F]things that you might have [G]done.....
For [G]only the good die [C]young
[F]that's what I [G]said
Only the [C]good die young [F]only
the [G]good die [C]young
[C]You might have [F]heard
I run with a [C]dangerous [Am]crowd
We [F]ain't too pretty we [G]ain't
too [C]proud
We [F]might be laughing a [G]bit
too [Am]loud
But [F]that never hurt no [G]one
[G]So [F]come
on Virginia [C]show me a [Am]sign
[F]Send up a signal I'll [G]throw
you the [C]line
The [F]stained-glass curtain you're [C]hiding
be[Am]hind
[F]Never lets in the [G]sun
[G]Darlin' [G]only
the good die [C]young [F]whoa
- [G]oh
Only the [C]good die [F]young
only the [G]good die [C]young
[C]You got a [G]nice
white dress [F]and a party on your confir[C]mation
[C]You got a [D]brand
new soul [D]nd a [F]cross
of gold
[F]But Vir[G]ginia
they didn't give you [F]quite enough
infor[C]mation
[C]You didn't [D]count
on me [D]when you were counting on your [F]rosary
[C]Oh [Dm]oh
[C]oh [G]And
they
[F]Say there's a heaven for [C]those
who will [Am]wait
[F]Some say it's better but [G]I
say it [C]ain't
I'd rather [F]laugh with the sinners than
[G]cry with the [Am]saints
The [F]sinners are much more [G]fun...
For [G]only the good die [C]young
[F]that's what I [G]say
Only the [C]good die young [F]only
the [G]good die [C]young
[G] [F] [C]
[C] [D] [D]
[F]
[F]You say your [G]mother
told you all that I could
[F]Give you was a reputa[C]tion
[C]She never [D]cared
for [D]me but did she ever [F]say
a prayer for me?
[C]Oh [Dm]oh
[C]oh [G]come
out , come out
[F]Come out Virginia, [C]don't
let me me [Am]wait
You [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
For [G]only the good die [C]young
[F]that's what I [G]say
Only the [C]good die young [F]only
the [G]good die [C]young
