[Verse 1]
C That picture hangin' on the wall F C/E C Was painted by a friend C Em He gave it to me all down and out F C/E G When he owed me ten C It doesn't look like much I guess F C/E C But it's all that's left of him C Em It sure is nice from right over here F C/E G When the light's a little dim
[Chorus]
F Step inside this house girl F C/E C I'll sing for you a song C Em I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been F C/E G It shouldn't take too long F I'll show you all the things that I own F C/E C My treasures you might say C Em It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth F C/E G They brighten up my day
[Verse 2]
C This book of poems was given me F C/E C By a girl I used to know C Em I guess I read it front to back F C/E G Fifty times or so C It's all about the good life F C/E C And stayin' at ease with the world C Em It's funny how I love that book F C/E G And I never loved that girl
[Chorus]
F Step inside this house girl F C/E C I'll sing for you a song C Em I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been F C/E G It shouldn't take too long F I'll show you all the things that I own F C/E C My treasures you might say C Em It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth F C/E G They brighten up my day
[Verse 3]
C Now you hold this piece of glass up to the light F C/E C That's shinin' through the door C Em It's a prism glass, I found it on the road F C/E G Can't you see that tiny rainbow C It's not really a prism I guess F C/E C It just kind of broke a funny way C Em I was on my way through Houston F C/E G And I was headed for L.A.
[Chorus]
F Step inside this house girl F C/E C I'll sing for you a song C Em I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been F C/E G It shouldn't take too long F I'll show you all the things that I own F C/E C My treasures you might say C Em It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth F C/E G They brighten up my day
[Verse 4]
C This guitar was given me F C/E C By old man Thomas Gray C Em It's not too much to look at F C/E G But I play it every day C It's been across this country F C/E C Four or five times I guess C Em Between me and old man Tom F C/E G It never got much rest
[Chorus]
F Step inside this house girl F C/E C I'll sing for you a song C Em I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been F C/E G It shouldn't take too long F I'll show you all the things that I own F C/E C My treasures you might say C Em It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth F C/E G They brighten up my day
[Verse 5]
C Well that's just about all I own F C/E C All I care to I guess C Em Except this pair of boots maybe F C/E G And that funny yellow vest C And that leather jacket and that leather bag F C/E C And that hat hangin' on the wall C Em Just so it's not too much to carry babe F C/E G Could I see you again next Fall
[Chorus]
F Step inside this house girl F C/E C I'll sing for you a song C Em I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been F C/E G It shouldn't take too long F I'll show you all the things that I own F C/E C My treasures you might say C Em It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth F C/E G They brighten up my day
