Gary Savage - My Charlotte St Home It Washed Away Chords
My House On Charlotte Street Washed Away
Played to the tune of "My Oklahoma home", by Bruce Springsteen.
D
when my great aunt Jean died
G D
it was her house that I eyed
A
moved my stuff in almost straight away
D
I put down new fancy floors
G D
and painted walls and doors
A D
making the place mine to stay.
G
it washed away
D
it washed away
A
my house on Charlotte street it washed away
D
sewage came up the drain
G D
'cause there was a bit of rain
A D
and the pump station wasn't turned on anyway
D
I had lots of dear things there
G D
Mr insurance man I swear
A
those 16 play-stations are destroyed
D
and that antique Toby jug
G D
not to mention my cashmere rug
A D
and even all my doggies little toys

G
they washed away
D
they washed away
A
everything that I held dear
D
the floors have started lifting
G D
and I need a brand new kitchen
A D
and lots of Febreeze to make the bad smell disappear
D
well I moved to higher ground
G D
with what salvage I had found
A
just this guitar and my dog poppy
D
and I wrote down this hear song
G D
because the days are awful long
A D
when all your stuff has been washed out to sea
G
it washed away
D
it washed away
A
because of the bloody water-board
D
I spend my time driving round
G D
sticking to higher ground
A D
I think I saw my house float past Greenore
D
this has happened thrice before
G D
and I'm sure it will happen more
A
I've photos taken so the damage can be seen
D
I'm going to sue the board
G D
and with my nice reward
A D
I might just buy myself a submarine
