INTRO: 
E5        A5                         E5
 I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
            B5             E5 
And leave a beautiful memo- ry. 
E5                   
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young  
                            B5
And leave a beautiful mem-o-ry
 
Don't want slow walkin' or sad singin' 
                     E5
Let 'em have a jub-i- lee
 
I wanna leave a lot of happy women 
A5                           A5
thinkin' pretty thoughts of me
                                  E5 
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
            B5             E5 
And leave a beautiful memo- ry. 
        A5
I got a hot-rod car and a cowboy suit 
      E5
And I really do get around 
        B5
I got a little black book and the gals look cute 
      E5                      B5
And I know the name of ev'ry spot in town 
        E5
I wanna find 'em , fool 'em , leave 'em 
                           A5
An' let 'em do the same to me 
                                  E5
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young 
            B5             E5
And leave a beautiful memo- ry 
 
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young 

And leave a beautiful memory 

I'm a wampus cat let me grab my hat 

And baby come aiong with me 

We're gonna do some fancy steppin' 

We're really goin' on a spree 

I wanna live fast, love hard, die young 

And leave a beautiful memory 
 
Now you may not approve of the things I do 

But it really don't bother me 

But don't ever think you can tie me down 

I'm gonna stay footloose and fancy free 

So jump back, make tracks, move out 

An' let the pretty gals at me 

I wanna live fast, love hard, die young 

And leave a beautiful memory.
