Verse 1
D                  Bm               A
Wadin' through the waste stormy winter,
 D                  Bm                 A 
And there's not a friend to help you through. 
 D                  Bm                A          D
Tryin' to stop the waves behind your eyeballs, 
A                E                    A
Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues. 


Verse 2
D                  Bm        A
Thank you for your wine, California, 
D                  Bm               A
Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits. 
  D           Bm            A         D
Yes I got the desert in my toenail 
A             E               A
And I hid the speed inside my shoe.

But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia, 
D              Bm           A
Come on, honey child, I beg you. 
D                Bm                A       D
Come on, come on down, you got it in ya. 
A                 E                  A
Got to scrape the shit right off you shoes.
