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  | X2

D I kept the promise till the vow got broke
D I had to drink from the lovin' cup
G I stood on the banks till the river rose up
C I saw the bride in her wedding gown
