FF
Chorus:
D#D#
Step inside my house babe
A#A# FF
I'll sing for you a song
FF F minorFm
And I'll tell you about where I've been
D#D# F#7A#7
It shouldn't take too long
D#D#
And I'll show you all the things I own
A#A# FF
My treasures you might say
FF F minorFm
And there couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
D#D# F#7A#7
But they brighten up my day
Verse 1:
FF
That picture hanging on the wall
D#D# FF
Was painted by a friend
FF F minorFm
He gave it to me all down and out
D#D# F#7A#7
When he owed me ten
FF
It's not too much to look at
D#D# FF
But it's all that's left of him
FF F minorFm
And it sure is nice from right over here
D#D# F#7A#7
When the light's a little dim
Verse 2:
FF
Here's a book of poems I got
D#D# FF
From a girl I used to know
FF F minorFm
I guess I read it front to back
D#D# F#7A#7
Fifty times or so
FF
It's all about the good life
D#D# FF
And stayin' at ease with the world
FF F minorFm
You know it's funny how I loved that book
D#D# F#7A#7
And I never loved that girl
Chorus:
D#D#
Step inside my house babe
A#A# FF
I'll sing for you a song
FF F minorFm
And I'll tell you about where I've been
D#D# F#7A#7
It shouldn't take too long
D#D#
And I'll show you all the things I own
A#A# FF
My treasures you might say
FF F minorFm
And there couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
D#D# F#7A#7
But they brighten up my day
Verse 3:
FF
Now hold this piece of glass
D#D# FF
Up to the light coming through the door
FF F minorFm
It's a prism glass I found on the road
D#D# F#7A#7
Can you see that little rainbow
FF
But it's not really a prism I guess
D#D# FF
It just broke in a funny way
FF F minorFm
I found it on my way from Texas
D#D# F#7A#7
Headed for L.A.
Verse 4:
FF
This guitar was given me
D#D# FF
By old man Thomas Gray
FF F minorFm
It's not too much to look at
D#D# F#7A#7
But I pick it every day
FF
It's been across this country
D#D# FF
Ohh four or five times I guess
FF F minorFm
And between me and old man Tom
D#D# F#7A#7
It never got much rest
Chorus:
D#D#
Step inside my house babe
A#A# FF
I'll sing for you a song
FF F minorFm
And I'll tell you about where I've been
D#D# F#7A#7
It shouldn't take too long
D#D#
And I'll show you all the things I own
A#A# FF
My treasures you might say
FF F minorFm
And there couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
D#D# F#7A#7
But they brighten up my day
Verse 5:
FF
Now that's about all I own
D#D# FF
All I care to I guess
FF F minorFm
Except this pair of boots
D#D# F#7A#7
And that funny yellow vest
FF
And that leather jacket and that leather bag
D#D# FF
And the hat hangin' on the wall
FF F minorFm
And just so it's not too much to carry
D#D# F#7A#7
Could I see you again next fall
