I Was In the House When the House Burned Down

My Ride Is Here

 

I think this is the way it goes, if not, it still sounds convincing

 

The verses all go this way, this is just the lyrics to the first and last
verses

G+G

I had the shit ....

C majorC

I kept the promise...

C majorC

I had to drink from...

G+G

I stood on the banks...

C majorC

I saw the bride...

A                                       C majorC

I was in the house when the house

                   G         C   Em  G+G

burned down

 

Refrain

C majorC

I was in the house...

G+G

I met the man...

C majorC

I helped him carry...

A                                       C

I was in the house when the house

G                     C  Em  G+G

burned down 

 

That's pretty much it, listen to the songs to get the timing on the chord

changes right, have fun.

Thanks Warren for 30+ years of madness!
