[Start]

[Intro]
F G C F G C F G7
        
G G G7
   


[Verse]
F                 G            Am  
Come out Virginia don't let me wait
F                        G        C   
You Catholic girls start much too late
       F                  G             Am  
Aw but sooner or later it comes down to fate
  F                    G  
I might as well be the one
          F                   G           Am  
Well they showed you a statue told you to pray
F                           G          C   
They built you a temple and locked you away
       F                       G                Am 
Aw but they never told you the price that you'd pay
    F                          G   
For things that you might have done
              C   F    
Only the good die young


[Chorus]
              G   
That's what I said
C                   F    
 Only the good die young
         G        C    
Only the good die young


[Verse]
           F                  G         Am   
You mighta heard I run with a dangerous crowd
F                      G              
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
C                              Am  
We might be laughing a bit too loud
       F                  G  
Aw but that never hurt no one
        F           G           Am  
So come on Virginia show me the sign
F                     G                 
Send up a signal I'll throw you the line
    F                           G      Am    
The stainedglass curtain you're hiding behind
F                 G  
Never lets in the sun
                      C         F
Darlin' only the good die young 


[Chorus]
F                  
Oohwhoa whoa whoaoh
  G        C                   F    
I tell you  only the good die young
         G        C    
Only the good die young
             G                      F             C           
You've got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
             D        D7            F            
You've got a brandnew soul mm and a cross of gold
G                                 F            F           C
But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information 


[Verse]
           D          
You didn't count on me
D7                           D    F      G7          
  When you were countin' on your rosary oh whoa whoa
         F                        G              Am  
And they say there's a heaven for those who will wait
F                        G        C    
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
           F                           G            Am    
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
F                         G  
The sinners are much more fun
                            C        
You know that only the good die young


[Chorus]
F           
Ohoh oh baby
  G       C                   F

         G        C    
Only the good die young
G F C D D7 F
      
              G                                F              C         
You said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
             D7          
Aw she never cared for me
                       D7           
But did she ever say a prayer for me
G7         
Ohwhoa whoa
F                          G                  Am F   
Come out come out come out Virginia don't let me wait
             G                    F   
You Catholic girls start much too late
                       G             Am  
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
  F                    G  
I might as well be the one
                                C     F
You know that only the good die young 
        G   
Tell ya baby
C
