I Was in the House When the House Burned Down Warren Zevon
This is a great song of Warren's. There's a haromica part in the begining, after every
solo, and the end. I'll try to find it and post it on here. Enjoy.
[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
[A]I was in the house when the house burn[C]ed down
[G] [C] [Em] [G]
[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
[A]I was in the house when the house burn[C]ed down
[G] [C] [Em] [G]
[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
[A]I was in the house when the house bur[C]ned down
