Chords:
I Was In The House When The House Burned Down From Life'll Kill Ya Capo on the third fret to match recording Note: This is the way I play it for ease of playing. To more exactly match recording, the progressions at the end of each verse should be a quick G/C/G switch, followed by the Em D G. Same progression in between verses. Intro: | G | X2G I had the shit till it all got smokedD I kept the promise till the vow got brokeD I had to drink from the lovin' cupG I stood on the banks till the river rose upC I saw the bride in her wedding gownG D G Em D (or G/C/G Em D) I was in the house when the house burned downG Em D X3 G I may be old and I may be bent But I had the money till it all got spent I had the money till they made me pay Then I had the sense to be on my way I had to stay in the underground I was in the house when the house burned down G Em D X3 Chorus:C I was in the house when the house burned downG I met the man with the thorny crownD I helped Him carry his cross through townG D G Em D I was in the house when the house burned downHarmonica Break: G Em D (2x) G D D G C G Chorus Repeat verse 1, End on G
