A B D F A B D    


[Verse 1]

A
James Dean, James Dean
A
I know just what you mean
      D          A
James Dean, you said it all so clean
       E                  
And I know my life would look allright
                                  A
If I could see it on the silver screen


[Verse 2]

A
You were the lowdown rebel if there ever was
A
Even if you had no cause
       D         A
James Dean, you said it all so clean
       E                  
And I know my life would look all right
                                  A
If I could see it on the silver screen


[Bridge]

       D
We'll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,
          A
You were just too cool for school
D                   
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop,
     B                                 E         
The only thing that got you off was breakin' all the rules


[Verse 3]

      A
James Dean, James Dean
A
So hungry and so lean
      D          A
James Dean, you said it all so clean
        E                  
And I know my life would look all right
                                  A
If I could see it on the silver screen


[Instrumental]

A D A E A


[Bridge]

D
Little James Dean, up on the screen
A
Wond'rin' who he might be
 D
Along came a Spyder and picked up a rider
     B                          E
And took him down the road to eternity


[Verse 4]

      A                                             
James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen
      D                       A
James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen
          E                                       A
You were too fast to live, too young to die, (bye-bye)
          E                                       D
You were too fast to live, too young to die, (bye-bye)
    A
Bye bye!
A
Too fast to live, too young to die, bye bye
B
Too fast to live, too young to die, bye bye
D
Too fast to live, too young to die, bye bye
F
Too fast to live, too young to die
A
Too fast to live, too young to die
B
Too fast to live, too young to die
(Bye bye bye)
D
Too fast to live, too young to die
(Oh James Dean)
A
Too fast to live, too young to die  Bye bye!
