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 D# originally I believe. I normally play it in "C" with capo on third (aka D#) C Am F C C G C

         C       Am
Well the moon is broken

        F      C
And the sky is cracked

C       Am        G
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        G
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          G
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            Am
There's no light in the tunnel 

   F            C
No irons in the fire

C       Am        G
Come on up to the house

         C           Am
And your 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        G
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        G
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 Am F C C C Am Am C Am F C C G C CHORUS

        C             Am
There's nothin in the world 

     F       C
That you can do

          C       Am        G 
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        G
Gotta come on up to the house

         C                  Am
Well you know you should surrender

        F            C

You gotta come on up to the house
