Version 1CAPO 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 [Ending] Am
