[F][Am][F][G][F][C][F][Am][G][F][Dm][G]
[F]

[Verse 1]
Come out,
Virginia, [G]don't let [Am]me wait
You [F]Catholic girls start [G]much too late
[C]Aw, but soo[F]ner or later
[G]it comes [Am]down to fate
I [F]might as well will be [G]the one

[Verse 2]
Well, they [F]showed you a statue,
[G]told you [Am]to pray
They [F]built you a temple and [G]locked you away
[C]Aw, but the[F]y never told you
the [G]price that [Am]you pay
For [F]things that you might have [G]done

[Verse 3]
Well, [G]only the good die [C]young[F]
That's what I [G]said[C]
Only the good die [F]young
Only the good [G]die [C]young

[Verse 4]
You mighta [F]heard I run with
a dan[G]ger[Am]ous crowd
We [F]ain't too pretty, we [G]ain't too [C]proud
We might [F]be laughing a bit [G]too loud
[Am]Aw, but that[F] never hurt no one[G]

[Verse 5]
So come [F]on, Virginia,
[G]show me [Am]a sign
[F]Send up a signal,
I'll [G]throw you the [C]line
[F]The stained- glass curtain
you're hid[G]ing [Am]behind
[F]Never let's in [G]the sun

[Verse 6]
Darlin', [G]only the good die young
[C]Whoa- [F]whoa- whoa- who[G]a
[C]I tell ya only the good die you[F]ng
Only the good [G]die [C]young

[Verse 7]
You got a [G]nice white dress and a
[F]party on your [C]confirmation
You got a [D]brand new soul
Mmm, and [F]a cross of gold
But, Vir[G]ginia, they didn't give you
[F]quite enough [C]information
You didn't [D]count on me
When you were counting on your [F]rosary
[G]Oh- whoa- whoa

[Verse 8]
And [F]they say there's a heaven
for [G]those who will [Am]wait
[F]Some say it's better, but I [G]say it ain't
[C]I'd rather lau[F]gh with the sinners
than [G]cry with [Am]the saints
The [F]sinners are much more [G]fun

[Verse 9]
You know that [G]only the good die [C]young,
[F]oh, bab[G]y
[C]I tell ya onl[G]y the[C] goo[G]d die[C] you[F]ng
Only the good [G]die young

[Verse 10]
Said your [G]mother told you all that I

Aw, she never [D]cared for me
But did she ever say a [F]pray[Dm]er fo[F]r me?
[G]Oh- whoa- whoa
