Verse
Am
Virginia was a "lot lizard" from F.L.A.
E
She had a compound fracture in the "trunk"
Am
It started when she run away
D F
Thumbs out on the interstate
E Am
She hitched a ride to misery

w/verse
"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
E
He's gonna get high
Am
When he's low
E Am
The fire burns from better days
E
And she screams why
Am
I said I don't know
D F E
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Am
Of misery

w/verse
Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel in "tinseltown"
They found him in a Cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat in the name
Of misery

w/verse
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

w/chorus
And they're gonna get high
When they're low
The fire burns from better days
And he screams why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery

Bridge
Dm E Am
Hell hounds on your trail now once again..boy
Dm E Am
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps
Dm E Am
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
F E
Because it's not what you make, it's what you leave

w/verse

w/chorus
And we're gonna get high
When I'm low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery
