Guy Clark – Step Inside My House (Guitar)

F
Step inside my house babe

     G              C
I'll sing for you a song

C                       Em
And I'll tell you about where I've been

F                     G7
It shouldn't take too long

F
And I'll show you all the things I own

   G                   C
My treasures you might say

C                               Em
And there couldn't be more than ten dollars worth

         F              G7
But they brighten up my day

C
That picture hanging on the wall

    F            C
Was painted by a friend

C                Em
He gave it to me all down and out

F               G7
When he owed me ten

C
It's not too much to look at

         F                  C
But it's all that's left of him

C                        Em
And it sure is nice from right over here

         F                G7
When the light's a little dim

C
Here's a book of poems I got

       F              C
From a girl I used to know

  C               Em
I guess I read it front to back

F              G7
Fifty times or so

C
It's all about the good life

         F                   C
And stayin' at ease with the world

C                         Em
You know it's funny how I loved that book

      F                G7
And I never loved that girl

F
Step inside my house babe

     G              C
I'll sing for you a song

C                       Em
And I'll tell you about where I've been

F                     G7
It shouldn't take too long

F
And I'll show you all the things I own

   G                   C
My treasures you might say

C                               Em
And there couldn't be more than ten dollars worth

         F              G7
But they brighten up my day

C
Now hold this piece of glass

          F                        C
Up to the light coming through the door

       C                          Em
It's a prism glass I found on the road

        F                   G7
Can you see that little rainbow

C
But it's not really a prism I guess

        F                C
It just broke in a funny way

C                Em
I found it on my way from Texas

F          G7
Headed for L.A.

C
This guitar was given me

   F              C
By old man Thomas Gray

C                    Em
It's not too much to look at

F             G7
But I pick it every day

C
It's been across this country

    F                    C
Ohh four or five times I guess

C                  Em
And between me and old man Tom

   F              G7
It never got much rest

F
Step inside my house babe

     G              C
I'll sing for you a song

C                       Em
And I'll tell you about where I've been

F                     G7
It shouldn't take too long

F
And I'll show you all the things I own

   G                   C
My treasures you might say

C                               Em
And there couldn't be more than ten dollars worth

         F              G7
But they brighten up my day

C
Now that's about all I own

      F         C
All I care to I guess

C                   Em
Except this pair of boots

F                     G7
And that funny yellow vest

C
And that leather jacket and that leather bag

         F                 C
And the hat hangin' on the wall

C                        Em
And just so it's not too much to carry

        F                  G7
Could I see you again next fall
