                ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG             BILLY JOEL

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

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

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

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

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

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

 |  G  | F  |  C  |  C  |  D  |  D  | F |

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