Intro: E   G A B
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" 
 
A 
Cause if the good die young 
E 
If the good die young 
B 
Ma, our little boy's gonna have alot of fun 
E 
Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young 
 
 
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
