D                   B7           A
Wading through the waste stormy winter
      D              B7                A
And There's not a friend to help you through
D                    B7                  A    D
Trying to stop the waves behind your eyeballs
A              E                     A
Drop your reds drop your greens and blues

 D                  B7         A
Thank you for your wine, California
 D                  B7                A
Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits
 D                   B7             A  D
Yes, i've got the desert in my toenail
A             E                A
And hid the speed inside my shoes

Chorus:
            D             B7            A
   But come on, come on down sweet Virginia
  D                B7            A
   Come on honey child i beg of you
  D                  B7                A   D
   Come on, come on down you got it in you
  A                    E                    A   D A
   Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes
