Warren Zevon
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
I had the shit ....
C
I kept the promise...
C
I had to drink from...
G
I stood on the banks...
C
I saw the bride...
A C
I was in the house when the house
G C Em G
burned down
Refrain
C
I was in the house...
G
I met the man...
C
I helped him carry...
A C
I was in the house when the house
G C Em 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!
