[Intro]
G5 X2
[Verse]
G5 I had the shit 'til it all got smoked, D5 I kept the promise 'til the vow got broke, D5 I had to drink from the lovin' cup, G5 I stood on the banks 'til the river rose up. C I saw the bride in her wedding gown, G5 D5 C Em D5 G5 I was in the house when the house burned down.
C Em D5 G5 X3 G5
[Verse]
G5 I may be old and I may be bent, D5 but I had the money till it all got spent, D5 I had the money till they made me pay, G5 then I had the sense to be on my way. C I had to stay in the underground, G5 D5 C Em D5 G5 I was in the house when the house burned down.
C Em D5 G5 X3
