CAPO ON 1ST FRET
Don't forget to damp the strings after you strum the chord each time!
[Verse 1]
Am
Virginia was a lot lizard from F.L.A.
                                   E
She had a compound fracture in the trunk
   Am
It started when she ran away
Dm                F
Thumbs out on the interstate
    E                      Am
She hitched a ride to misery
Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident
                             E
He fell into the city by the bay
   Am
He liquidated his estate
Dm                     F
Now he sleeps upon the Haight
E                Am
Panhandling misery
[Chorus]
                   E
And he's gonna get high high high
          Am
When he's low low low
    E                      Am
The fire burns from better days
                 E
And she screams "why, oh why?"
        Am
I said "I don't know"
     Dm          F          E
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
           Am
Of misery
[Verse 2]
Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel in Tinsel town
They found him in a cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat in the name
Of misery
Gina hit the road to New York City
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
She stopped in Vegas to elope
With Virginia and the dope
And kissed the bride eternally
[Chorus]
                      E
And they're gonna get high high high
             Am
When they're low low low
    E                      Am
The fire burns from better days
                 E
And she screams "why, oh why?"
        Am
I said "I don't know"
     Dm          F          E
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
           Am
Of misery
[Bridge]
F                   E               Am
Hell hounds on your trail now once again boy
F                   E               Am
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps
F                   E               Am
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
F                                           E
'Cause it's not what you make it's what you leave
[Mandolin and Guitar Solo]
Just play the same chords as the verse!
[Chorus]
                   E
And we're gonna get high high high
          Am
When we're low low low
    E                      Am
The fire burns from better days
                 E
And she screams "why, oh why?"
        Am
I said "I don't know"
     Dm        F         E
                          (don't damp)
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
           Am
Of misery
