Verse 1:
   Bbm
Virginia was a "lot lizard" from F. L. a
                                   F7
She had a compound fracture in the "trunk"
   Bbm
It started when she ran away
Eb                Ebm7
Thumbs out on the interstate
    F7
She hitched a ride to misery
Bbm
   "Mr. Whirly" had a catastrophic incident
                             F7
He fell into the city by the bay
   Bbm
He liquidated his estate
Eb             Ebm7
Now he sleeps upon the Haight
F7
Panhandling misery
Bbm                   F7
   And he's gonna get high, high, high

Chorus:
          Bbm
When he's low, low, low
    F7                         Bbm
The fire burns from better days
                F7
And she screams "why, oh, why?"
       Bbm
I said I  don't know
    Eb           Gb               F7
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday

Of misery

      Bbm
Well, Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
                                 F7
He ran the drug cartel in "Tinseltown"
     Bbm
They found him in a Cadillac
Ebm               Ebm7         F7
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat in the name

Of misery
Bbm
   Then Gina hit the road to New York City
                              F7
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
    Bbm
She stopped in Vegas to elope
Eb            Ebm7
With Virginia and the dope
     F7
That kissed the bride eternally
Bbm                   F7
   And he's gonna get high, high, high

Chorus:
          Bbm
When he's low, low, low

The fire burns from better days
                F7
And she screams "why, oh, why?"
       Bbm
I said I  don't know
    Eb           Gb               F7
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
         Bbm
Of misery

Interlude:
      Ebm                 F7              Bbm
Well, hell hounds on your trail now once again, boy
     Ebm             F7           Bbm
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps
    Ebm            F7                  Bbm
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
      Gb                                    F7   Bbm
Cause it's not what you make, it's what you leave
