Biography:
Billy Joel (born William Martin Joel on May 9, 1949 in Bronx, New York, USA) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter, and composer. Since releasing his first hit song, "Piano Man," in 1973, Joel has become a multi-million-selling recording artist. Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1971 until he stopped recording pop/rock music in 1993. He is one of the very few rock (or even pop) artists to have Top 10 hits in the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

Come out Virginia, don't let me wait
C D G
You Catholic girls start much too late
C D Em
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
C D
I might as well be the one
C D Em
Well, They showed you a statue, told you to pray
C D G
They built you a temple and locked you away
C D Em
But they never told you the price that you pay

For things that you might have done

Only the good die young

We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud

We might be laughing a bit too loud
C D
But that never hurt no one

So come on Virginia show me a sign

Send up a signal I'll throw you the line

Once you figure out the strumming, it sounds spot on. I like to hit the chord then
