Guitar chords with lyrics
- Capo on 2nd
- Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Intro:
F
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 Published:
