[Verse]
       G
It was late one night, I was 
counting out my stitches
D                         G
Laying by the side of the road
        G
I was a long time gone, slipping off
 my britches
D                            G
Feeling like it's time to go home
        D                          
Yeah, feeling like it's time to go 
G
home

    G
And in this dream, Bill Tecumseh 
Sherman
D                          G
Glowered at the foot of my bed
       G
He was long and lean, he spoke in 
perfect German
    D                      G
And I recorded all that he said
      D                      G
Yeah, I recorded all that he said
        D
And he said:

[Chorus]
    G
"We all die young
   C
We all die young
   G
We all die young
D             G         D
   We all die young"

[Verse]
       G
When I woke next day, layered in the
 lashings
D                          G
Feeling for the hole in my head
      G
I was thinking 'bout my dad, 
thinking 'bout the nashings

   D                            
Of all the bitter things that he 
 G
said
      D                            
Yeah, all the worrying things that 
       G

[Verse]
        G
Well it came to pass that everything
 had ended
    D                          G
The world was just a grubby balloon
    G
And I spoke up, said "Sorry if I've 
offended"
     D                             
This voice came from the back of 
  G
the room
    D                              
Oh, screaming from the back of the 
G
room
   D
It said:

[Chorus]

"We all die young (We all die 
young!)

We all die young (We all die young!)
