Gary Savage - My Charlotte St Home It Washed Away

when my g[D]reat aunt Jean died
it was [G]her house that I [D]eyed
moved my stuff in almost straight [A]away
I put [D]down new fancy floors
and [G]painted walls and [D]doors
making the [A]place mine to [D]stay.

it washed [G]away
it washed [D]away
my house on Charlotte street it washed a[A]way
se[D]wage came up the drain
'cause there [G]was a bit of [D]rain
and the pump station wasn't [A]turned on any[D]way

I had l[D]ots of dear things there
Mr [G]insurance man I [D]swear
those 16 play-stations are de[A]stroyed
and that [D]antique Toby jug
not to [G]mention my cashmere[D] rug
and even all my [A]doggies little [D]toys

they washed [G]away
they washed [D]away
everything that I held d[A]ear
the [D]floors have started lifting
and I [G]need a brand new [D]kitchen
and lots of Febreeze to make the [A]bad smell disap[D]pear

well I [D]moved to higher ground
with what [G]salvage I had [D]found
just this guitar and my dog pop[A]py
and I [D]wrote down this hear song
because the [G]days are awful l[D]ong
when all your stuff has been [A]washed out to [D]sea

it washed [G]away
it washed [D]away
because of the bloody water[A]-board
I spen[D]d my time driving round
stick[G]ing to higher[D] ground
I think I saw my house [A]float past Gree[D]nore

this has [D]happened thrice before
and I'm [G]sure it will happen [D]more
I've photos taken so the damage can be[A] seen
I'm[D] going to sue the board
and [G]with my nice re[D]ward
I might just buy my[A]self a subma[D]rine
