[Intro] G [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                          G
Yeah, feeling like it's time to go 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]

"We all die young

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                             G
Of all the bitter things that he said

      D                                   G
Yeah, all the worrying things that he had 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"   Son, he said:

We all die young (We all die young!)

We all die young (We all die)

(We all die young!) [Solo] G G D G G G D G D G D [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                               G
This voice came from the back of the room

    D                              G
Oh, screaming from the back of the room

   D
It said:
[Chorus]

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

   C
We all die young (We all die young!)

   G
We all die young (We all die)

D             G        D
  We all die young"    One more time!
