Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

| | X2

  I had the shit till it all got smoked

  I kept the promise till the vow got broke

  I had to drink from the lovin' cup

  I stood on the banks till the river rose up

  I saw the bride in her wedding gown

  I was in the house when the house burned down

| X3 | |

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

| X3|

Chorus

  I was in the house when the house burned down

  I met the man with the thorny crown

  I helped Him carry his cross through town

  I was in the house when the house burned down
