Misery

Verse 1:
Am
Virginia was a lot lizard from F.L.A.
       E
She had a compound fracture in the trunk
   Am
It started when she ran away
Dm                F
Thumbs out on the interstate
    E                      Am
She hitched a ride to misery

Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident
        E
He fell into the city by the bay
   Am
He liquidated his estate
Dm                     F
Now he sleeps upon the Haight
E                Am
Panhandling misery

Chorus:
                   E
And he's gonna get high high high
          Am
When he's low low low
    E                      Am
The fire burns from better days
                E
And she screams why oh why
       Am
I said I don't know
     Dm          F          E
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
           Am
Of misery

Verse 2:
Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel in Tinsel town
They found him in a cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat in the name
Of misery
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:
And they're gonna get high high high
When they're low low low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams why oh why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery

F                   E               Am
Hell hounds on your trail now once again boy
F                   E               Am
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps
F                   E               Am
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
F                                           E
'Cause it's not what you make it's what you leave

Mandolin and guitar solo - just play the same chords over the top!

                   E
And we're gonna get high high high
          Am
When we're low low low
    E                      Am
The fire burns from better days
                E
And she screams why oh why
       Am
I said I don't know
     Dm          F          E(don't damp)
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
           Am
Of misery

End on Am

Holiday

 Em       C            G         D
 Hear the sound of the falling rain
 Em       C           G   B       Em
 Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
       C        G          D       B
 The shame, the ones who died without a name
Em         C            G       D
 Hear the dogs howling out of key
Em      C           G         B  Em
 To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
        C        G       D        B
 And bleed, the company lost the war today

 Em         C                G               D
 I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
Em            C              G           B
 This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
          Em C G D
 On holiday

  Em        C           G       D
 Hear the drum pounding out of time    
 Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
 To find, the money's on the other side
 Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
 There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
 A gag, A plastic bag on a monument

 I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
 This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
 On holiday

 "The representative from California has the floor"
 Zieg Heil to the president gasman
 Bombs away is your punishment
 Pulverize the Eiffel towers
 Who criticize your government
 Bang bang goes the broken glass and
 Kill all the fags that don't agree
 Trials by fire, setting fire
 Is not a way that's meant for me
 Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

 I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
 This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
 I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
 This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

 This is our lives on holiday

(Repeat chord patterns for the rest of the song.)



I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's all right
Check my vital signs, to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a....

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah I walk alone, I walk a....

Verse:
Dm     Bb                F        C
Do you know what's worth fighting for,
Dm        Bb        F      C
When it's not worth dying for?
Dm      Bb        F      C
Does it take your breath away
Bb                         C
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Dm       Bb         F       C
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
Dm        Bb       F        C
And you look for a place to hide?
Dm      Bb             F      C
Did someone break your heart inside?

When you're at the end of the road

And you lost all sense of control
Dm        Bb           F           C
And your thoughts have taken their toll
Bb                                       C
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Dm   Bb             F      C
Your faith walks on broken glass
Dm      Bb       F       C
And the hangover doesn't pass
Dm        Bb   F        C
Nothing's ever built to last
Bb                 C5
You're in ruins.

When you burned down the house and home?
Dm      Bb         F           A
