If Only The Good Die Young
Max Stalling
Album: Topaz City (2007)
[Intro]
G  G  C  C
CI was driving just last week
Out west where it's wide oDmpen
When out in a hot plowed fiGeld
A dust devil clicked his heels
And headed for the rCoad
When we intersected
This little whirlwind and Dmme
It sure shook me gGood
And as it blew cross my hood
It reminded me of lCife
[Chorus]
CIf only the good dFie young
I might live forevCer, I gAmuess
Caught up on the wGind
Around and round again
Just trying to do my bCest
CI've been trying to go to church, some
But I keep getting intercDmepted
By the ball game on GTV
Or a Zebco 303
Didn't Peter fish for mCen?
[Chorus]
CAnd if only the good dFie young
I might live foreCver, I guAmess
Casting all abGout
Trying to figure it all out
Just trying to do my bCest
[Instrumental]
C  C  F  F  C  C  Am  G  G  G  G  G  C
F  F  C  Am  G  C  G  C
CThere are thing that I have done
And I think I've learned my leDmssons
But I'd sure hate to get aGsked
To stand up in class
And explain to evCeryone
[Chorus]
CWhy if only the good dFie young
I have lived foreCver
I'll be stuck here after scGhool
Wondering what to do
Wondering where is everCyone?
[Chorus]
COhhh, and if only the good dFie young
Well, we might live foreCver
It'll just be me and yGou
Stuck here in this pew
Wondering, Lord, what have we dCone?
[Chorus]
CIf only the good dFie young
I might live foreCver, I gAmuess
Caught up on the wGind
Round and round again
Just trying to do my bCesGtAm  G  C

If Only The Good Die Young

Max Stalling

Album: Topaz City (2007)

[Intro]

G G C C

I was driving just last week

Out west where it's wide open

When out in a hot plowed field

A dust devil clicked his heels

And headed for the road

When we intersected

This little whirlwind and me

It sure shook me good

And as it blew cross my hood

It reminded me of life

[Chorus]

C F

If only the good die young

C Am

I might live forever, I guess

Caught up on the wind

Around and round again

Just trying to do my best

I've been trying to go to church, some

But I keep getting intercepted

By the ball game on TV

Or a Zebco 303

Didn't Peter fish for men?

[Chorus]

C F

And if only the good die young

C Am

I might live forever, I guess

Casting all about

Trying to figure it all out

Just trying to do my best

[Instrumental]

C C F F C C Am G G G G G C

F F C Am G C G C

There are thing that I have done

And I think I've learned my lessons

But I'd sure hate to get asked

To stand up in class

And explain to everyone

[Chorus]

C F

Why if only the good die young

I have lived forever

I'll be stuck here after school

Wondering what to do

Wondering where is everyone?

[Chorus]

C F

Ohhh, and if only the good die young

Well, we might live forever

It'll just be me and you

Stuck here in this pew

Wondering, Lord, what have we done?

[Chorus]

C F

If only the good die young

C Am

I might live forever, I guess

Caught up on the wind

Round and round again

C G Am G C

Just trying to do my best
