Verse:
    G+G
It was late one night, I was counting out my stitches
D MajorD             G+G
Laying by the side of the road
    G+G
I was a long time gone, slipping off my britches
D MajorD              G+G
Feeling like it's time to go home
    D MajorD             G+G
Yeah, feeling like it's time to go home

  G+G
And in this dream, Bill Tecumseh Sherman
D MajorD             G+G
Glowered at the foot of my bed
    G+G
He was long and lean, he spoke in perfect German
  D MajorD           G+G
And I recorded all that he said
   D MajorD           G+G
Yeah, I recorded all that he said
    D MajorD
And he said:

"We all die young
  C majorC
We all die young
  G+G
We all die young
D MajorD       G+G     D MajorD
  We all die young"

Verse:
    G+G
When I woke next day, layered in the lashings
D MajorD             G+G
Feeling for the hole in my head
   G+G
I was thinking 'bout my dad, thinking 'bout the nashings
  D MajorD               G+G
Of all the bitter things that he said
   D MajorD                  G+G
Yeah, all the worrying things that he had said
    D MajorD
And he said:

Chorus:
  G+G
"We all die young
  C majorC
We all die young
  G+G
We all die young
D MajorD       G+G     D MajorD

Verse:
    G+G
Well it came to pass that everything had ended
  D MajorD             G+G
The world was just a grubby balloon
  G+G
And I spoke up, said "Sorry if I've offended"
   D MajorD                G+G
This voice came from the back of the room
  D MajorD               G+G
Oh, screaming from the back of the room
  D MajorD
It said:

We all die young (We all die)
