Strum
D-DU-UDU
There  is a road  that meets the road  that goes to my  house
and  how the green  grows there.
And  we got special  boots that beat  the path to my  house
 and it's careful,  and it's careful  when I'm there.
 And I say your uncle was a crooked French Canadian
 and he was gunshot running gin
 and how his guts were all suspended in his fingers
 and how he held'em, how held'em, held'em in.
 And the water  rolls down the drain.
 The water  rolls down the drain.  O what a
lonely  thing! In a lonely  drain!
 July,  July,  July
never seamed  so strange
 July,  July,  July
never seamed  so,  never seamed  so strange.
 This is the story of the road that goes to my house
 and what ghosts do there remain.
 And all the thoughts that run the length and breadth of my house
 and the chickens, how they rattle chicken chains.
 And we'll remember this when we are old and ancient,
 though the specifics might be vague.
 And I'll say your camisole was a sprightly light magenta
 when in fact it was a nappy bluish gray.
 REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
 REPEAT CHORUS

[A]There is a [B]road that meets the [E]road that goes to [D]my house
[A]and how the [B]green grows [E]there.
[A]And we got [B]special boots that [E]beat the path to [D]my house
and it's [A]careful, and it's [B]careful when I'm [E]there.

And I say your uncle was a crooked French Canadian
and he was gunshot running gin
and how his guts were all suspended in his fingers
and how he held'em, how held'em, held'em in.

And the [F#m]water rolls down the [E]drain.
The [F#m]water rolls down the [E]drain. O what a

This is the story of the road that goes to my house
and what ghosts do there remain.
And all the thoughts that run the length and breadth of my house

And we'll remember this when we are old and ancient,
though the specifics might be vague.
And I'll say your camisole was a sprightly light magenta
when in fact it was a nappy bluish gray.
