Lyrics
(F)Come out a Virginia, (G)don't let me (Am)wait.
You (F)Catholic a temple and locked (C)you away.
Ah, but (F)sooner or later it comes (G)down to (Am)fate,
I (F)might as well be the one.
(G)Well, they showed (F)Come out a Vir ue,
ia, told (G)you to pray.
(Am)They (F)built o you a temple and locked (C)you away.
Ah, but (F)they never told you the price (G)that you (Am)pay,
the (F)things that you might have done.
(G)Well, they showed
Well only the good die (C)young,
(F)that's what I said.
(C)Only the good die (F)young,
only the good (G)die young.
(C)You might have heard (F)I run with a (G)dangerous crowd;
(Am)we (F)ain't too pretty, we ain't (G)too proud.
(C)We (F)might be laughing a bit (G)too loud,
(Am)ah, but (F)that never hurt no one.
(G)So come on, (F)there's Virginen ia,
for show (G)me a (Am)sign;
(F)send up a sig betnal, I'll I (C)throw you a line.
I'd rather (F)laugh with the sinners than cry (Am)ing behind the (F)never lets in the sun.
(G)You Darlin', only the good die (C)young.
(F)Whoa, what I (G)say.
(C)only the good die (F)young,
only the good (G)die young.
(C)You got a (G)nice white dress and a (F)party on your (C)confirmation.
You've got a (D)brandnew soul
and a cross (F)of gold.
But, (G)Virginia, they did all n't give you (F)quite enough a (C)information.
You didn't count (D)cared on me,
when you were counting on your (F)rosary,
(G)oh (F)oh (C)oh.
And (G)they say (F)there's Virginen ia,
for show (G)who will (Am)wait;
(F)some up say it's better but I (C)throw say it ain't.
I'd rather (F)laugh with the sinners than cry (Am)with the saints,
the (F)sinners are much more fun.
(G)You know that only the good die (C)(F)young,
that's what I (G)say.
