Version 1 Version 2I'm not sure if this is right, but it sounds a bit more accurate than other tabs I've seen. This song is in D# originally I believe. I normally play it in "C" with capo on third (aka D#) [Intro] C Am F C C G C [Verse 1] C Am Well the moon is broken F C And the sky is cracked C Am Come on up to the house C Am The only things that you can see F C Is all that you lack C G C Come on up to the house C Am All your cryin F C don't do no good C Am Come on up to the house C Am Come down off the cross F C We can use the wood C G C You gotta come on up to the house [Chorus] C Come on up to the house Am Come on up to the house C Am The world is not my home F C I'm just a passin' thru C G C Come on up to the house C [Verse 2] C Am There's no light in the tunnel F C No irons in the fire C Am Come on up to the house C Am And your singin lead soprano F C In a junkman's choir C G C You gotta come on up to the house C Am Does life seem nasty, F C brutish and short C Am Come on up to the house C Am The seas are stormy F C And you can't find no port C G C Got to come on up to the house [Chorus] C You gotta come on up to the house Am Come on up to the house C Am The world is not my home F C I'm just a passin' thru C G C Come on up to the house [Instrumental] C Am F C C C Am Am C Am F C C G C [Chorus] C You gotta come on up to the house Am Come on up to the house C Am The world is not my home F C I'm just a passin' thru C G C You got to come on up to the house [Verse 3] C Am There's nothin in the world F C That you can do C Am You gotta come on up to the house C Am And you been whipped by the forces F C That are inside you C G C Gotta come on up to the house C Am Well you're high on top F C Of your mountain of woe C Am Gotta come on up to the house C Am Well you know you should surrender F C But you can't let it go C G C You gotta come on up to the house [Chorus] C Gotta come on up to the house Am Gotta Come on up to the house C Am The world is not my home F C I'm just a passin' thru C G C You gotta come on up to the house C G C You gotta come on up to the house C G F You gotta come on up to the house C Ah yeah
