A#m Virginia was a lot lizard from f.L.A. F She had a compound fracture in the trunk A#m It started when she ran away D#m F# Thumbs out on the interstate F A#m She hitched a ride to misery A#m Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident F He fell into the city by the bay A#m He liquidated his estate D#m F# Now he sleeps upon the Haight F A#m Panhandling misery Chorus: F And he's gonna get high high high A#m When he's low low low F A#m The fire burns from better days F And she screams "why, oh why?" A#m I said "I don't know" D#m F# F The catastrophic hymns from yesterday A#m Of misery The 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 Then 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 D#m F A#m Hell hounds on your trail now once again boy D#m F A#m It's groping on your leg until it sleeps D#m F A#m The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow F# F 'Cause it's not what you make it's what you leave Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm A#m D#m F F# Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
