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

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

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

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

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

| C C Dm Dm C C G G |
Oh oh oh And_they
F F | C/G C/G Am Am |
Say there's a heaven for those who will wait
F F | G G C C |
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
| F F | G G Am Am |
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
| F F
The sinners are much more fun...
| G G | G G | C C | F F | G G |
You know only the good die young that's what I say
| C C | C C | F F | G G | C C |
Only the good die young only the good die young

| G G | F F | C C | C C | D D | D D | F F |

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