[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
[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
[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
Am
