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]
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
