My House On Charlotte Street Washed Away Played to the tune of "My Oklahoma home", by Bruce Springsteen.
         D
when my great aunt Jean died

       G                D
it was her house that I eyed

                                  A
moved my stuff in almost straight away

      D
I put down new fancy floors

    G                 D
and painted walls and doors

           A             D
making the place mine to stay.

          G
it washed away

          D
it washed away

                                        A
my house on Charlotte street it washed away

  D
sewage came up the drain

             G            D
'cause there was a bit of rain

                            A            D
and the pump station wasn't turned on anyway

       D
I had lots of dear things there

   G               D
Mr insurance man I swear

                             A
those 16 play-stations are destroyed

         D
and that antique Toby jug

       G                  D
not to mention my cashmere rug

                A              D
and even all my doggies little toys

            G
they washed away

            D
they washed away

                        A
everything that I held dear

    D
the floors have started lifting

      G                D
and I need a brand new kitchen

                                 A              D
and lots of Febreeze to make the bad smell disappear

       D
well I moved to higher ground

          G             D
with what salvage I had found

                               A
just this guitar and my dog poppy

      D
and I wrote down this here song

            G               D
because the days are awful long

                             A             D
when all your stuff has been washed out to sea

          G
it washed away

          D
it washed away

                           A
because of the bloody water-board

      D
I spend my time driving round

     G            D
sticking to higher ground

                       A              D
I think I saw my house float past Greenore

         D
this has happened thrice before

        G                   D
and I'm sure it will happen more

                                      A
I've photos taken so the damage can be seen

   D
I'm going to sue the board

    G              D
and with my nice reward

                   A           D
I might just buy myself a submarine
