Chorus:
D#
Step inside my house babe
     A#              F
I'll sing for you a song
F                        Fm
And I'll tell you about where I've been
D#                     A#7
It shouldn't take too long
D#
And I'll show you all the things I own
   A#                   F
My treasures you might say
F                                Fm
And there couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
         D#              A#7
But they brighten up my day

Verse 1:
F
That picture hanging on the wall
    D#            F
Was painted by a friend
F                 Fm
He gave it to me all down and out
D#               A#7
When he owed me ten
F
It's not too much to look at
         D#                  F
But it's all that's left of him
F                         Fm
And it sure is nice from right over here
         D#                A#7
When the light's a little dim


Verse 2:
F
Here's a book of poems I got
       D#              F
From a girl I used to know
  F                Fm
I guess I read it front to back
D#              A#7
Fifty times or so
F
It's all about the good life
         D#                   F
And stayin' at ease with the world
F                          Fm
You know it's funny how I loved that book
      D#                A#7
And I never loved that girl


Chorus:
D#
Step inside my house babe
     A#              F
I'll sing for you a song
F                        Fm
And I'll tell you about where I've been
D#                     A#7
It shouldn't take too long
D#
And I'll show you all the things I own
   A#                   F
My treasures you might say
F                                Fm
And there couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
         D#              A#7
But they brighten up my day


Verse 3:
F
Now hold this piece of glass
          D#                        F
Up to the light coming through the door
       F                           Fm
It's a prism glass I found on the road
        D#                   A#7
Can you see that little rainbow
F
But it's not really a prism I guess
        D#                F
It just broke in a funny way
F                 Fm
I found it on my way from Texas
D#          A#7
Headed for L.A.


Verse 4:
F
This guitar was given me
   D#              F
By old man Thomas Gray
F                     Fm
It's not too much to look at
D#             A#7
But I pick it every day
F
It's been across this country
    D#                    F
Ohh four or five times I guess
F                   Fm
And between me and old man Tom
   D#              A#7
It never got much rest


Chorus:
D#
Step inside my house babe
     A#              F
I'll sing for you a song
F                        Fm
And I'll tell you about where I've been
D#                     A#7
It shouldn't take too long
D#
And I'll show you all the things I own
   A#                   F
My treasures you might say
F                                Fm
And there couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
         D#              A#7
But they brighten up my day


Verse 5:
F
Now that's about all I own
      D#         F
All I care to I guess
F                    Fm
Except this pair of boots
D#                     A#7
And that funny yellow vest
F
And that leather jacket and that leather bag
         D#                 F
And the hat hangin' on the wall
F                         Fm
And just so it's not too much to carry
        D#                  A#7
Could I see you again next fall
