My House
This started with the Dm hammer C riff on guitar... which then generated the first line (first words that came into my head) and so developed the feel of the song (though I still have no idea what it's about!). To record it I started with banjo and drums... but then it got electric and heavy. Songs have lives of their own...
Dm hammer C
Dm C G Dm
Dm C G Dm
F Em F G Dm
You keep on coming to my house but you aint no good to me
You can stay out on the road emotions running free
Gonna lock you out from my house your face I just can’t see
Tear yourself from my back door you need to leave me be
Why-oh Why-oh , Why-oh Why-oh why
Whatcha still doing in my house you know I’ve told you once before
Its all just left me reeling got me kneeling on the floor
It’s gone on far too long I just can’t take it anymore
I said it’s no use hiding in my house I’m showing you the door
Why-oh Why-oh , Why-oh Why-oh why
Dm
I can’t believe what I just heard.. (drum riff)
C
It’s too extreme its too absurd (drum riff)
Dm
Can’t bring myself to say the word (drum riff)
Bb7 A7
