ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG - BILLY JOEL

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

D                           | A/E         F#m |                           
They showed you a statue and  told you to pray
      D                      | E        A  |               
They built you a temple and  locked you away
     D                      | A/E          F#m  |                       
But they never told you the  price that you pay
      D                      |  E                         
For things that you might have done.....

CHORUS 
| E                 | A      |  D           | E  |
  only the good die   young     that's what I said
| A            | A           | D          | E            | A
       Only the good die young   only the  good die young          

               D                 | A/E       F#m |
You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
    D                  | E        A  |                   
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
    D               | A/E       F#m  |                
We might be laughing a bit too loud
     D               |  E                       
But that never hurt no one

       D            | A/E       F#m |                       
So come on Virginia  show me a sign
 D                     | E            A  |                                          
Send up a signal I'll  throw you the line
     D                          | A/E       F#m  |                                           
The stained-glass curtain you're   hiding behind
 D               |  E                                            
Never lets in the sun

CHORUS 
| E                 | A      |  D           | E  |
  only the good die   young     that's what I said
| A            | A           | D          | E            | A
       Only the good die young   only the  good die young          

BRIDGE 1
        |  E                   | D          |   A  
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
A        | B                  | B      | D
You got a brand new soul  And a cross of gold
D      | E                       | D               | A   | 
But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
A            | B         |  B                          | D    |
   You didn't count on me When you were counting on your rosary
|  A    D   A     E   |
  Oh   oh   oh    And_they

D                        | A/E       F#m |                       
Say there's a heaven for those who will wait
 D                     | E            A  |                                                                
Some say it's better but  I say it ain't
           D                           | A/E          F#m  |                
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than  cry  with the saints
     D                 |  E                                            
The sinners are much more fun...


CHORUS 
| E                 | A      |  D           | E  |
  only the good die   young     that's what I said
| A            | A           | D          | E            | A
       Only the good die young   only the  good die young
