'Only The Good Die Young' by Billy Joel - Guitar Tutorial

            F           C/G         Am 
Come out Virginia, don't let me me wait
   F       G    C 
You Catholic girls start much too late
   F            C/G       Am 
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
          F           G 
        I might as well be the one
 
    F          C/G      Am 
They showed you a statue and told you to pray
   F          G      C 
They built you a temple and locked you away
   F          C/G        Am 
But they never told you the price that you pay
   F           G
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

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

 G     F       C/G   Am 
    So come on Virginia show me a sign
 F          G       C 
 Send up a signal I'll throw you the line
   F             C/G     Am 
The stained-glass curtain you're  hiding behind
 F          G
 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

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

   C   Dm  C   G     
  Oh  oh  oh   And_they
F          C/G        Am 
Say there's a heaven for those who will wait
F          G         C  
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
       F            G         Am  
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
  F 
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 |

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