I Was In The House When The House Burned Down

Warren Zevon

 G
 I had the shit till it all got smoked

 C
 I kept the promise till the vow got broke

 C
 I had to drink from the lovin' cup

 G
 I stood on the banks till the river rose up

 C
 I saw the bride in her wedding gown

 AC
 I was in the house when the house burned down

 GCEmG

 G
 I may be old and I may be bent

 C
 But I had the money till it all got spent

 C
 I had the money till they made me pay

 G
 The I had the sense to be on my way

 C
 I had to stay in the underground

 AC
 I was in the house when the house burned down

 GCEmG

 C
 I was in the house when the house burned down

 G
 I met the man with the thorny crown

 C
 I helped him carry his cross through town

 AC
 I was in the house when the house burned down

 GCEmG
(Solo)

Keep Rockin' you Excitable Boy!
