F5                   C5             A5  
Come out Virginia,  don't let me me wait
    F5                      G5      C5   
You Catholic girls start  much too late
    F5                   C5          A5   
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
               F5                           G5  
            I might as well be the one


      F5                        C5         A5  
They showed you a statue and  told you to pray
     F5                         G5         C5   
They built you a temple and  locked you away
    F5                         C5            A5  
But they never told you the  price that you pay
     F5                          G5
For things that you might have done.....
       G5         G5                   C5         F5             G5  
           For   only the good die   young     that's what I said
       C5            C5             F5            G5             
          Only the good die young   only the  good die young


  C5                 F5                   C5          A5  
     You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
   F5                   G5              C5   
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
   F5                   G5           A5  
We might be laughing a bit too loud
   F5                          G5
But that never hurt no one


 G5       F5                    C5     A5    
      So come on Virginia  show me a sign
  F5                        G5           C5   
  Send up a signal I'll  throw you the line
    F5                              C5       A5   
The stained-glass curtain you're   hiding behind
 F5                        G5
  Never lets in the sun
       G5         G5                 C5        F5        G5  
         Darlin  only the good die  young        woh - oh
       C5           C5            F5          G5             
          Only the good die young   only the  good die young


  C5             G5                   F5                    C5   
      You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
  C5          D5                  D5        F5
   You got a brand new soul        And a cross of gold
  F5            G5                         F5                 C5     
       But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
  C5              D5            D5                            F5     
     You didn't count on me When you were counting on your rosary


   C5    D5   C5     G5        
   Oh   oh   oh    And_they
F5                         C5            A5   
Say there's a heaven for those who will wait
F5                         G5             C5    
Some say it's better but  I say it ain't
           F5                           G5              A5    
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than  cry  with the saints
    F5 
The sinners are much more fun...
       G5       G5                C5       F5              G5  
       You know  only the good die  young      that's what I say
       C5           C5            F5          G5             C5  
          Only the good die young   only the  good die young


    G5    F5     C5     C5     D5     D5    F5  

  F5              G5                                
    You say your  mother told you all that I could 
   F5                     C5  
   Give you was a reputa-tion     
  C5         D5           D5                       F5          
   She never cared for me  But did she ever say a prayer for me?
   C5   D5  C5    G5        
   Oh   oh   oh    And_they
