D           Am          G     D 
This is the story of Victoria Lee 
    D              Am           G             D 
She started off on Percodan and ended up with me 
D            Am                G                    D 
She lived in Berkeley 'til the earthquake shook her loose 
D            Am              G            D 
She lives in Texas now where nothin' ever moves 


   C         Em               G               D 
Victoria you talk so low that no one else can hear 
C                     Em          G               D 
Unless you point your megaphone directly at their ear 


D           Am          G     D 
This is the story of Victoria Lee

C                                                     G 
You'd like to think they're your friends, but they're not your friends 
                 A                             C7                   
And in the end a friend's the one you'll never know, oh don't you know
      C                                      G
You'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie, you see through me
         A                           C7 (pause)           G
but it's true, and in the end you'll know, Victoria don't go

Victoria, Victoria don't go

You might think it's stupid, but I still think it's art 
D            Am           G          D
She lost her lover to an accident at sea 
D              Am            G             D
She pushed him overboard and ended up with me 
 

   C         Em               G               D 
Victoria you talk so low that no one else can hear 
C                     Em          G               D 
Unless you point your megaphone directly at their ear

This is the story of Victoria's heart.
