The Die House BPM=80 Intro: C G Am F Verse 1: C G It was a slow, lonely, Pandemic ride Am F Traveling solo miles and miles C Then I saw it on the map– Iowa City G Would I dare? C Swing by, maybe stare? Csus4 C
C The campus was a ghost town G I pulled right up front Am The only car on the street F A little bunny perched on the lawn C Like an ornament of innocence Chorus: C G There it was — the Workshop Am F My dream, my fantasy C G But here I was — a writer alone F G Writing my heart out C Without permission Csus4 C Verse 2: C I started a short poem G And the tears erupted Am It was an ugly cry An anguished cry F I cried in self-pity C G I cried in vain C I cried without shame Chorus: C G There it was — the Workshop Am F My dream, my fantasy C G But here I was — a writer alone F G Writing my heart out C Without permission Csus4 C Bridge: Em A poet I loved lived here Wrote here F Enjoyed every privilege of this place Looked me in the eye and said, Dm F "If you ever write about me, I will kill you" C The Dey House heard that too Csus4 C Outro: C G The Dey House heard me cry Am F The Dey House held me tight C G Assured me I earned the right F G To write my story C Csus4 C And now it's a song
