Only The Good Die Young Uke tab by Billy Joel

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

     F                       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                  Am
But they never told you the price that you pay
    F                          G
For things that you might have done

                      C     F            G
For only the good die young that's what I said
         C              F        G       C
Only the good die young only the good die young 

              F                   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 

   F                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        Am 
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind 
 F                G
Never lets in the sun

                          C     F    G
Darlin' only the good die young whoa oh 
         C        F                  G     C       
Only the good die young only the good die young 

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

C Dm C G
Oh oh oh 

         F                        C              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        F             G
For only the good die young that's what I say 
             C         F             G     C
Only the good die young only the good die young 


[G][F][C][C][D][D][F] 

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

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

                      C     F             G     
For only the good die young that's what I say 
         C              F        G        C  
Only the good die young only the good die young
