Capo on 1st fret
[Verse1]
[Am]Virginia was a lot lizard from F.L.A.
She had a compound fracture in the [E]trunk
It [Am]started when she ran away
[Dm]Thumbs out on the [F]interstate
She [E]hitched a ride to miser[Am]misery
Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident
He fell into the city by the [E]bay
He [Am]liquidated his estate
[Dm]Now he sleeps upon the [F]Haight
[E]Panhandling miser[Am]misery
[Chorus]
And he's gonna get [E]high high high
When he's [Am]low low low
The [E]fire burns from better [Am]days
And she screams [E]why oh why
I said [Am]I don't know
The c[Dm]catastrophic [F]hymns from [E]yesterday
Of misery [Am]
[Verse2]
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]
And they're gonna get high high high
When they're low low low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams why oh why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery
[Bridge]
[F]Hell hounds on your [E]trail now once a[Am]again boy
[F]It's groping on your[E]your leg until it sl[Am]sleeps
[F]The emptiness will f[E]fill your soul wi[Am]with sorrow
[F]'Cause it's not what you make it's what you [E]leave
[Mandolinandguitarsolo]
just play the same chords over the top!
[Chorus]
And we're gonna get[E]get high high high
When we're[Am]we're low low low
The [E]fire burns from better [Am]days
And she screams [E]why oh why
I said [Am]I don't know
The c[Dm]catastrophic [F]hymns from [E(don't]yesterda[damp)]yesterday
Of misery [Am]
[Ending]
[Am]
