G                               C              G
The wind blows right through my house, it's so old
                                    C    (Start kjapp overgang til Em)
Yeah in the winter months it can really get cold
       Em                      C                          C
It was built by the local bakerman...in the good old days

 
     G                         C            G
With thin walls that walks and talks to the night
                                       C           (Start kjapp overgang til Em)
Ratteling and whistleing and telling lies
          Em                       C
When it's laughing and shaking the ground
                                       G  Am 
Like the whole thing is gonna come down

 
Am                  G
Got electricity and light
    C            D
And water running
    C              G      C            G
And it's all working with me and my girl
     C               G            C       G
Some things needs fixing, nothing serious
       Am             D
We got nowhere to park
                     C
So we don't own a car
                    G C G
We never go that far

"Uhhh-uhh-huuh"-parti: Am-D-C-G-C-G (Hold G'en over i andre vers)

 G                               C                G
And if I had a lighter, I would put the house on fire
                                            C      (Start kjapp overgang til Em)
You would see the flames for a hundred miles
         Em                        C               (Hold C'en videre her)
It would light up the good neighborhood
 
And you could see it from the moon
                                   Am
And you could see it from the moon

 
Am                               G       C             D
And we could stand and watch the fireman putting it out
    C              G          C           G     C         G
And it's all working when the fireman comes and puts it out
            C            G
So we still have a house

     Am               D                 C
For criminals we got cops who get them cuffed
                             G C G
And sometimes it can get rough

 
Trompet-spill: Am-D-C-G-C-G

     Am             D                   C
For criminals we got cops who get them cuffed
                             G C G
And sometimes it can get rough
    C            G        C            G
And it's all working with me and my girl
     C               G            C       G
Some things needs fixing, nothing serious
        C      G         C       G
Nothing serious, nothing serious
     C            G  C                 G     
For criminals we got cops who get them cuffed
