[Verse 1]
D                  B                   A
Wading through the waste        stormy winter
D                    B                  A
and there's   not a friend  to help you through
D                  B                  A        D
Trying to stop the waves  behind your eyeballs
A                     E                   A      D  A
Drop your reds       drop your greens an' blues

[Verse 2]
D                  B                    A
Thank you for your wine            California
D                    B                  A
Thank you   for your sweet   and bitter fruits
D                    B                   A        D
Yes   I  got  the   desert   in   my     toenail
A             E                           A      D A
And I hid the speed inside       my       shoes

[Chorus]
D                 B                   A
Come on,  come on down,   Sweet    Virginia
D                B                     A
Come on,  honey  child     I beg of    you
D                 B                 A           D
Come on,  come on down,     you got it in you
A                  E                     A        D A
Got to scrape that shit   right off your shoes
