ONLY THE GOOOD DIE YOUNG
By Billy Joel
Key:C

Come out Vir-gin-ia, don't let me wait
-3    4   4   4   4   6    -5   4  4
You Cath-o-lic girls start much too late
6    -3  4  4   4     -5    -4  -3   3
aw But soon-er or lat-er it
4  3    -3  4  4   4  -3 3
comes down to fate
6     -5    4   4
I might as well be the one
3  -3   4   4   4  -5   -4
well, They showed you a sta-tue, 
4      4     -3    4  4  4   4
told you to pray
6     -5 4   4
They built you a tem-ple 
3     -3    4  4  4   4     
and locked you a-way
-5    -4    -3-3 3
Aw, but they nev-er told you 
4    3   -3   4  4   4   -3
the price that you pay
3    6     -5   4   4
The things that you might have done.
3    -3     4    4   4    -5    -4
For on-ly the good die young
3   6  -6  7   6    5    5
thats what I  said
6      -5  5   -5
on-ly the good die young 
6  -6  7   6    6    5
on-ly the good die young 
6  -5  5   -5  -4    3
You might have heard 
4     4    4    -3
I run with a dan-ger-ous crowd
4  4   -3  3  6  -5   4    4
We ain't too pret-ty we ain't too proud
3   -3    4   4   4  -5  -5    -4  3
We might be laugh-ing a bit too loud
3   -3   4    4    -3 3  6   -5   4
But that nev-er hurt no one
3    -3   4  4   4   -5 -4  

So come on Vir-gin-ia show me a sign
6   6   7   6   6  6   6   -5 4  4
Send up a sig-nal I'll throw you the line
-3   4  4  4   4   4    -5    -4 -3   3
That stained-glass cur-tain you're 
-2     -3      4    4   -3    3     
hid-ing be-hind
6  -5   4  4   
Nev-er lets in the sun
-3  4   4    4  -5  -4
Darl-in' on-ly the good die young 
-3    3  6   -6 7   6    5    5  
woah
6 -5 5 -5

on-ly the good die young 
6  6   7   6    6    5
on-ly the good die young 
6  -5  5   -5  -3    3 

You got a nice white dress 
7    7  7   7    7     7
and a par-ty on your con-fir-ma-tion
-6 -6  7  -6 -6  -6  -6  -5  -6  6   
You got a brand new soul
6    6  6   6    -5  -5
And a cross of gold
-5 -5  -5   4   -3
But Vir-gin-ia they did-n't give you 
7    7   7   7  7    7   7   -6  -6  
quite e-nough in-for-ma-tion
7    -6  -6   -7 -5  -6  6
You did-n't count on me
6    6   6    6   -5 -5  
When you were count-ing on your ro-sa-ry 
6     6   6     6    6  6   6   6  -5 -5     
(oh woah woah)
6    -5    5
And they say there's a hea-ven 
4     4  -3    4     4  4   4
for those who will wait
4    6    -5   4    4
Some say it's bet-ter but I say it ain't
-3    4   4    4   4  -5 -5 -4  -3   3
I'd rath-er laugh with the sin-ners 
3     3   3   -3   4    4   4   -3
than cry with the saints
3     6   -5   5     5
the sin-ners are much more fun
3   -3   -3  4    4    -5   -4    
you know that on-ly the good die young
3    3    3   6  -6  7   6    5    5
That’s what I say
6      -5   5 -5
On-ly the good die young, 
6  -6  7   6    6   -5
On-ly the good die young, 
6  -5  5   -5  -4   3
Said your moth-er told you 
7     7    7   7   7    7    
all I could give you was a rep-u-ta-tion
7   7  -6    7    -6  -6-6  -7-5 -6   6
She nev-er cared for me
6    6  6   6     -5 -5  
But did she ev-er say a prayer for me? 
6    6   6  6  6   6  6    6    -5 -5  
oh woah woah
6   -5   5
Come out come out Vir-gin-ia 
5     5   -3   4   4   4   4
don’t let me wait,
6     -5  5   5
You Cath-o-lic girls start much too late
3    -3  4  4   4     -5    -4  -3   3
Soon-er or lat-er it comes down to fate
-3    4 4   4  -3 3   6     -5  4   4
I might as well be the one,
3  -3    4  4   4   -5  -4
You know that on-ly the good die young
3    3    3    6 -6  7   6    5    5
That’s what I say
6      -5   5 -5
You know that only the good die young
3    3    3   6  -6  7   6    5    5 
On-ly the good die young, 
6  -6  7   6    6   -5
On-ly the good die young, 
6  -5  5   -5  -4   3
