The House Rules chords by Kane Christian

Chords with lyrics

-- This is actually my first attempt at a tab so be gentle! =]
You will have to listen to the song to get the exact beat and timing. I also tend
to embellish a bit,
so if you do not like the E7E7 and A7A7 chords, just drop them.
-- To get the right key, you have to tune the guitar down a half step. I hope you
like this, enjoy!

Intro: G+G E MajorE E D MajorD E MajorE E G+G E MajorE E D MajorD A augmentedA G+G E MajorE E D MajorD E MajorE E G+G E MajorE E D MajorD A augmentedA
(the E MajorE chord is written twice to show the beat)

E MajorE
So you're tired and beat
E MajorE
And you've worked all week
E MajorE
And you need a place you can let it go.
E MajorE
Where the girls go wild
E MajorE
And the boys play hard
                E7E7
And you need a little more than just the radio.
         A augmentedA        D MajorD
Well here's your open invitation
      A augmentedA           D MajorD
With just a couple regulations.
    E MajorE
Let me warn you son, only come to have fun
             E7E7
We don't take kindly to serious.
       G+G
So leave your troubles at the door
      A augmentedA      A7A7
Unless you want some in here.

E MajorE          G+G
Welcome to my house, buckle up tight
     A augmentedA         D MajorD    A augmentedA
Everybody sings and drinks, laughs & gets high.
    E MajorE        G+G          A augmentedA
It's a country music, a little soul, it's a rock 'n roll rodeo.
     D MajorD  E MajorE        G+G
We don't tolerate no sitting around
      A augmentedA
Everybody's dancin', groovin' and getting on down.
  C majorC                     D MajorD
So before you come in here with some kind of attitude
                 G+G E MajorE E D MajorD E MajorE E G+G E MajorE E D MajorD A augmentedA (use intro beat)
You better read the house rules.

E MajorE
Around eleven o'clock when the front door locks
E MajorE
And the boys start raising the bottle.
E MajorE
Where the girls do the thing with the Mardis Gras beads
                       E7E7
Yeah, You know they're gonna show 'em if they got 'em.
  A augmentedA          D MajorD  A augmentedA          A7A7
No matter what your story, a good time is mandatory.
   E MajorE
Well rule number 7 says don't touch the women
                E7E7
But they can grab whatever they want to.

E MajorE          G+G
Welcome to my house, buckle up tight

E MajorE       G+G
No such thing as last call.
      A augmentedA
We pick' em up when they fall .

We share the same bathroom stall,
     D MajorD
Says the sign on the wall.  (1, 2, 3)
