[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]
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 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:
G
"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"
(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]
G
"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!
(We all die young!)
G
"We all die young, Bill Tecumseh Sherman
(We all die young!)
C
We all die young, Sorry if I've offended
(We all die young!)
G
We all die young (We all die)
D G D
We all die young" One more time!
(We all die young!)
G
(We all die young!)
C
(We all die young!)
G
(We all die)
D G D
(We all die young!)
G
(We all die young!)

(We all die young!)
G
(We all die)
D G D G
(We all die young!)
