  For a guitarist, this song should be easy. It's sound damn close too, especially
  if you have a friend who can play the accordian!
  
  
  INTRO: Some techno thing transcribed for guitar

  Virginia was a "lot lizard" from F.L.A.
  She had a compound fracture in the "trunk"
  It started when she ran away
  
  B                 D
  Thumbs out on the interstate
  
  ("Bb, F" pattern x4)
  She hitched a ride to misery
  
  
  "Mr. Whirly" had a catastrophic incident
  He fell into the city by the bay
  He liquidated his estate
  
  B                 D
  Now he sleeps upon the Haight
  
  ("Bb, F" pattern x4)
  Panhandling misery
  
  
  PRE-CHORUS: No guitar, an accordian takes over
  
  
  He's gonna get high
  When he's low
  The fire burns from better days
  and she screams why
  I said I don't know
  The catastrophic hymns from yesterday of misery
  
  
  VERSE 2: There's really no guitar here. Accordians and such are used instead.
  You could use the Verse pattern from above here, but it's not nessicary.
  
  
  Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
  He ran the drug cartel in "tinseltown"
  The found him in a Cadillac
  B                 D
  Bludgeoned with a baseball bat 
  In the name of misery
  
  
  Gina hit the road to New York City 
  Mysteriously the night Vinne Croaked
  She stopped in Vegas to elope
  B                 D
  With Virginia and the dope
  And kissed the bride eternally
  
  
  PRE-CHORUS: No guitar here
  
  And they're gonna get high when they're low
  The fire burns from better days
  And he screamed why
  I said I don't know
  The catastrophic hymns of yesterday of misery
  
  
  BRIDGE:
  
  
  Hell hounds on your trail now once again..boy
  It's groping on your leg until it sleeps
  The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
  Because it's now what you make..it's what you leave
  
  
  [INTERLUDE]
  
  (Accordian Solo)
  
  GUITAR SOLO: Doesnt sound like a guitar, but it's a cool, "Godfatherly" sort of sound
  so I tabbed it out. This is pretty close. Just figure out the # of strokes for
  yourself. It should be pretty easy.
