I Was In The House When The House Burned Down  Warren Zevon



[G]I had the shit till it all got smoked
[D]I kept the promise till the vow got broke
[D]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
[G]I was in the house when the [D]house burned down
[G]          [C]    [Em]    [D]  (2X)                
[G]I may be old and I may be bent
[D]But I had the money till it all got spent
[D]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
[D]I was in the house when the [D]house burned down
[G]           [C]   [Em]    [D]   (2X)              
[C]I was in the house when the house burned down
[G]I met the man with the thorny crown
[D]I helped him carry his cross through town
[G]I was in the house when the [D]house burned down
[G]          [C]   [Em]    [G]     (2X)              
(Solo)

[C]I was in the house when the house burned down

[G]I met the man with the thorny crown
[D]I helped him carry his cross through town
[G]I was in the house when the [D]house burned down
[G]         [C]   [Em]    [G]                    
[G]I had the shit till it all got smoked
[D]I kept the promise till the vow got broke
[D]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
[G]I was in the house when the [D]house burned down
G C Em D (Repeat)

Thats it. It sounds close. I'll try and find the harmonica.
Keep Rockin' you Excitable Boy!
