I Was in the House When the House Burned Down Lyrics
by Warren Zevon

#This is a great song of Warren's. There's a haromica part in the begining, after every
#solo, and the end. I'll try to find it and post it on here. Enjoy.

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
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
The 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
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
(Solo)
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
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
G C Em D (Repeat)
Thats it. It sounds close. I'll try and find the harmonica.
Keep Rockin' you Excitable Boy!
