Key:C

Come out Vir-gin-ia, don’t let me wait
-3 4 4 4 4 6 -5 4 4
You Cath-o-lic girls start much too late
6 -3 4 4 4 -5 -4 -3 3
aw But soon-er or lat-er it
4 3 -3 4 4 4 -3 3
comes down to fate
6 -5 4 4
I might as well be the one
3 -3 4 4 4 -5 -4
well, They showed you a sta-tue,
4 4 -3 4 4 4 4
told you to pray
6 -5 4 4
They built you a tem-ple
3 -3 4 4 4 4
and locked you a-way
-5 -4 -3-3 3
Aw, but they nev-er told you
4 3 -3 4 4 4 -3
the price that you pay
3 6 -5 4 4
The things that you might have done.
3 -3 4 4 4 -5 -4
For on-ly the good die young
3 6 -6 7 6 5 5
thats what I said
6 -5 5 -5
on-ly the good die young
6 -6 7 6 6 5
on-ly the good die young
6 -5 5 -5 -4 3
You might have heard
4 4 4 -3
I run with a dan-ger-ous crowd
4 4 -3 3 6 -5 4 4
We ain’t too pret-ty we ain’t too proud
3 -3 4 4 4 -5 -5 -4 3
We might be laugh-ing a bit too loud
3 -3 4 4 -3 3 6 -5 4
But that nev-er hurt no one
3 -3 4 4 4 -5 -4

So come on Vir-gin-ia show me a sign
6 6 7 6 6 6 6 -5 4 4
Send up a sig-nal I’ll throw you the line
-3 4 4 4 4 4 -5 -4 -3 3
That stained-glass cur-tain you’re
-2 -3 4 4 -3 3
hid-ing be-hind
6 -5 4 4
Nev-er lets in the sun
-3 4 4 4 -5 -4
Darl-in’ on-ly the good die young
-3 3 6 -6 7 6 5 5
woah
6 -5 5 -5

on-ly the good die young
6 6 7 6 6 5
on-ly the good die young
6 -5 5 -5 -3 3

You got a nice white dress
7 7 7 7 7 7
and a par-ty on your con-fir-ma-tion
-6 -6 7 -6 -6 -6 -6 -5 -6 6
You got a brand new soul
6 6 6 6 -5 -5
And a cross of gold
-5 -5 -5 4 -3
But Vir-gin-ia they did-n’t give you
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 -6
quite e-nough in-for-ma-tion
7 -6 -6 -7 -5 -6 6
You did-n’t count on me
6 6 6 6 -5 -5
When you were count-ing on your ro-sa-ry
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 -5 -5
(oh woah woah)
6 -5 5
And they say there’s a hea-ven
4 4 -3 4 4 4 4
for those who will wait
4 6 -5 4 4
Some say it’s bet-ter but I say it ain’t
-3 4 4 4 4 -5 -5 -4 -3 3
I’d rath-er laugh with the sin-ners
3 3 3 -3 4 4 4 -3
than cry with the saints
3 6 -5 5 5
the sin-ners are much more fun
3 -3 -3 4 4 -5 -4
you know that on-ly the good die young
3 3 3 6 -6 7 6 5 5
That’s what I say
6 -5 5 -5
On-ly the good die young,
6 -6 7 6 6 -5
On-ly the good die young,
6 -5 5 -5 -4 3
Said your moth-er told you
7 7 7 7 7 7
all I could give you was a rep-u-ta-tion
7 7 -6 7 -6 -6-6 -7-5 -6 6
She nev-er cared for me
6 6 6 6 -5 -5
But did she ev-er say a prayer for me?
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 -5 -5
oh woah woah
6 -5 5
Come out come out Vir-gin-ia
5 5 -3 4 4 4 4
don’t let me wait,
6 -5 5 5
You Cath-o-lic girls start much too late
3 -3 4 4 4 -5 -4 -3 3
Soon-er or lat-er it comes down to fate
-3 4 4 4 -3 3 6 -5 4 4
I might as well be the one,
3 -3 4 4 4 -5 -4
You know that on-ly the good die young
3 3 3 6 -6 7 6 5 5
That’s what I say
6 -5 5 -5
You know that only the good die young
3 3 3 6 -6 7 6 5 5
On-ly the good die young,
6 -6 7 6 6 -5
On-ly the good die young,
6 -5 5 -5 -4 3
