Only The Good Die Young

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

F                        C/C         Am
They showed you a statue and  told you to pray
F                         G         C
They built you a temple and  locked you away
F                         C/C            Am
But they never told you the  price that you pay
F                          G
For things that you might have done.....
G         G                   C         F             G
For   only the good die   young     that's what I said
C            C             F            G
Only the good die young   only the  good die young

C                 F                   C/C          Am
You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
F                   G              C
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
F                   G           Am
We might be laughing a bit too loud
F                          G
But that never hurt no one

G       F                    C/C     Am
So come on Virginia  show me a sign
F                        G           C
Send up a signal I'll  throw you the line
F                              C/C       Am
The stained-glass curtain you're   hiding behind
F                        G
Never lets in the sun
G         G                 C        F        G
Darlin  only the good die  young        woh - oh
C           C            F          G
Only the good die young   only the  good die young

C             G                   F                    C
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
C          D                  D        F
You got a brand new soul        And a cross of gold
F            G                         F                 C
But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
C              D            D                            F
You didn't count on me When you were counting on your rosary

C    Dm   C     G
Oh   oh   oh    And_they
F                         C/C            Am
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
The sinners are much more fun...
G       G                C       F              G
You know  only the good die  young      that's what I say
C           C            F          G             C
Only the good die young   only the  good die young

G    F     C     C     D     D    F

F              G
You say your  mother told you all that I could
F                     C
Give you was a reputa-tion
C         D           D                       F
She never cared for me  But did she ever say a prayer for me?
C   Dm  C    G
Oh   oh   oh    And_they
