I Was In The House When The House Burned Down

| [G5]  | X2

  [G5]I had the shit till it all got smoked
  [D]I kept the promise till the vow got broke
  [D]I had to drink from the lovin' cup
  I [G5]stood on the banks till the river rose up
  [C]I saw the bride in her wedding gown
  [G5]I was in the house when the h[D]ouse burned do[C]wn[Em]   [D]     [G]

    | [C] [Em] [D] [G] 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

   | [C] [Em] [D] [G] X3|

       [C]I was in the house when the house burned down
       [G5]I met the man with the thorny crown
       I he[D]lped Him carry his cross through town
       [G5]I was in the house when the ho[D]use burned down
