If The Good Die Young

Intro: E    (G A B - >Acoustic and 
Bass)

E
It was Sunday morning, I was seven 
years old

In the backyard playing in a big 
mudhole
     E
I was all decked out, ready for 
church
                                    
   (B Bm A - Acoustic)
Had my brand new suit all covered in
 dirt
E
Mama hit the ceiling she was fit to 
be tied
(E E - Acoustic)                    
   (A A E - Acoustic)
Talkin 'bout how shes gonna tan my 
hide
E                            E
But Daddy was laughing when I 
changed my clothes
         B                        E
'Saying "Mama leave the boy alone"

Ten years later had a hot rod ford
Constable clocked me at a hundred 
and four
Judge said "boy you're gonna hurt 
yourself
you'd a long been dead if you were 
anybody else"

(Chorus)
Cause if the good die young
If the good die young
Oh there ain't a sentence gonna hold
 you son
Cause he's gonna live forever if the
 good die young

Instrumental:  Play like Chorus

E
Well I got a good heart, I wouldn't 
hurt a soul
E
But I'm gonna keep rocking till they
 call that roll
E
Ol' St. Peter's gonna have to wait
                            (E     G
  A  - Acoustic and Bass)
I'm gonna go to heaven but I might 
be late

(Chorus)
Cause if the good die young
If the good die young
Pedal to the metal, let your motor 
run
Cause he's gonna live forever if the
 good die young

(Chorus)
And if the good die young
if the good die young
They got the jams, we'll have some 
fun
Cause I'm gonna live forever if the 
good die young
