[Verse 1]
[Am]ginia was [E]a lot-li[Am]zard from from FLA
She had a [E]compound fracture
[Am]in t[E]he "trunk"
It [Am]started when [E]she [Am]ran away
[E]Thumb[Dm] s out [D]on t[Dm]he interstate
She [E]hitched a ride to [Am]misery[E][Am]
Mr. Whirly had [E]a c[Am]atastrophic incident
He fell into the city [E]by the bay
He [Am]liquid[E]ated [Am]his estate
[Dm]Now [D]he s[Dm]leeps upon the
[E]Haight
Panhandling misery
[Am]

[Verse 2]
And we're gonna
get [E]high-igh-igh
When When When he's [Am]low,
low, [E]low
[Am]The [E]fire burns from better d[Am]ays[E][Am]
And she screams, [E]"Why, oh, why?"
I said, [Am]"I don't know"
[Dm]The catastrophic h[F]ymns from yester[E]day
Of [Am]misery
[E][Am]

[Verse 3]
Well, Vinny was a hustler out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel [E]in
Tinseltown
[Am]They found him in [E]a C[Am]a dillac
[Dm]Bludgeoned with a baseball bat
[E]In the name of [Am]misery
Then Gina [E]hit the [Am]road to
New York City
Mysteriously the night Vinnie [E]croaked
She [Am]stopped in Ve[E]gas [Am]to el[E]ope
[Dm]With [D]Vir[Dm]ginia and the dope
And [E]kissed the bride eternally
[Am]

[Verse 4]
And they're gonna
get [E]high-igh-igh
When When When they're [Am]low,
low, low
The [E]fire burns from better
[Am]days[Dm][Am]
And she screamed, [E]"Why, oh, why?"
I said, [Am]"I don't know"
[Dm]The catastrophic h[F]ymns from yester[E]day
Of misery
[Am][E][Am][E][Am][E][Am]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Well, hell hounds on your [E]trail now once again,
[Am]boy
It's [Dm]groping on your [E]leg
until it [Am]sleeps
The [Dm]emptiness [D]will [E]fill your
soul with [Am]sorrow
'Cause [F]it's not what you make,

I said, [Am]"I don't know"
The [D]cata[Dm]strophic [F]hymns from [E]yesterday
