Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Virginia was a lot lizard from F.L.A.

She had a compound fracture in the trunk

It started when she ran away

Thumbs out on the interstate

She hitched a ride to misery

Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident

He fell into the city by the bay

He liquidated his estate

Now he sleeps upon the Haight

Panhandling misery

Chorus

And he's gonna get high high high

When he's 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

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

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

Hell hounds on your trail now once again boy

It's groping on your leg until it sleeps

The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow

'Cause it's not what you make it's what you leave

Mandolin and guitar solo

just play the same chords over the top!

And we're gonna get high high high

When we'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

End on Am

That's all folks!
