INTRO: 
E        A                         E
 I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
            B7             E 
And leave a beautiful memo- ry. 
E                   
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young  
                            B7
And leave a beautiful mem-o-ry
 
Don't want slow walkin' or sad singin' 
                     E
Let 'em have a jub-i- lee
 
I wanna leave a lot of happy women 
A                           A
thinkin' pretty thoughts of me
                                  E 
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
            B7             E 
And leave a beautiful memo- ry. 
        A
I got a hot-rod car and a cowboy suit 
      E
And I really do get around 
        B7
I got a little black book and the gals look cute 
      E                      B7
And I know the name of ev'ry spot in town 
        E
I wanna find 'em , fool 'em , leave 'em 
                           A
An' let 'em do the same to me 
                                  E
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young 
            B7             E
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.
