Chords

I'm not sure if this is right, but it sounds a bit more accurate than other tabs I've seen. This song is in Eb originally I believe. I normally play it in "C" with capo on third (aka Eb). [Intro] C Am F C C G C [Verse 1]
          C       Am
Well, the moon is broken

        F      C
And the sky is cracked

C                 Am
Come on up to the house

         C                   Am
The only things that you can see

   F            C
Is all that you lack

C       G         C
Come on up to the house

C        Am
All your cryin'

      F     C
don't do no good

C                 Am
Come on up to the house

     C            Am
Come down off the cross

       F       C
We can use the wood

          C       G         C
You gotta come on up to the house
[Chorus]
C
Come on up to the house

                  Am
Come on up to the house

             C      Am
The world is not my home

           F       C
I'm just a passin' thru

C       G         C
Come on up to the house
C [Verse 2]
           C            Am
There's no light in the tunnel

   F            C
No irons in the fire

C                 Am
Come on up to the house

           C            Am
And you're singin' lead soprano

     F         C
In a junkman's choir

          C       G         C
You gotta come on up to the house

     C         Am
Does life seem nasty,

F           C
brutish and short

C                 Am
Come on up to the house

             C      Am
The seas are stormy

              F       C
And you can't find no port

       C       G         C
Got to come on up to the house
[Chorus]
          C
You gotta come on up to the house

                  Am
Come on up to the house

             C      Am
The world is not my home

           F       C
I'm just a passin' thru

C       G         C
Come on up to the house
[Instrumental] C Am F C C C Am Am C Am F C C G C [Chorus]
          C
You gotta come on up to the house

                  Am
Come on up to the house

             C      Am
The world is not my home

           F       C
I'm just a passin' thru

           C       G         C
You got to come on up to the house
[Verse 3]
        C              Am
There's nothin' in the world

     F       C
That you can do

          C                 Am
You gotta come on up to the house

             C              Am
And you been whipped by the forces

         F      C
That are inside you

      C       G         C
Gotta come on up to the house

             C       Am
Well, you're high on top

        F           C
Of your mountain of woe

      C                 Am
Gotta come on up to the house

          C                  Am
Well, you know you should surrender

        F            C
But you can't let it go

          C       G         C
You gotta come on up to the house
[Chorus]
      C
Gotta come on up to the house

                        Am
Gotta come on up to the house

             C      Am
The world is not my home

           F       C
I'm just a passin' thru

          C       G         C
You gotta come on up to the house

          C       G         C
You gotta come on up to the house

          C       G         F
You gotta come on up to the house

    C
Ah yeah
