House chords by

Verse 1
G
C
G
C
G
Once out
C
G
to another part of the city
On some far away errand I went
C
G
walking one day
My path might well have been
C
G
drawn by committee
With all the time in the world I went
C
G
winding my way
Verse 2
G
C
It's true I've never been known for
G
my thinking
Some would say vague and
C
G
I'd say that's fair
C
But I couldn't lie to her face without
G
blinking
Can you believe I'd forgot
C
G
what I'd find there?
C
G
For there stood the house like it had done forever
Verse 3
C
Or at least since circa 1939
G
The house that we lived in when
C
G
we were together
The place that we rented
C
G
when you were still mine
C
G
The broken antenna still stuck in the roof gently rocking
Verse 4
C
G
C
An unpicked apple still hung from
G
C
G
the tree in the yard
C
I tried to peak through a window
G
but a curtain was blocking
C
I thought about knocking
Verse 5
G
C
But what would I say to whomever
G
answered
C
G
Would my eyes give myself away if I lied?
I could say I was collecting
C
G
the national census
C
G
And ask how many they had living inside
Verse 6
C
I searched through my pockets to see if
G
C
G
I had something to sell
C
A two dollar coin, an old bus ticket,
G
I should keep walking
C
For some stones are best left unturned,
G
but what the hell?
C
I rang the bell
Verse 7
G
The house gave an echo
C
G
from inside its belly
Sounds I recalled from days
C
G
I left my key
A footstep, a clank, someone
C
G
turn down the telly
A shadow beneath the door,
Interlude 1
it was too late to flee

Verse 8
G
I said, "Hello,
C
G
I once lived at this very address
You might know my name from some
C
G
unclaimed mail"
She said, "You should have showed
C
G
up a long time before this
But if you wait right here then I'll
C
G
go check the pile
She left me there standing
C
G
alone in the doorway
C
G
Just like the trespasser in my own brain
I took one step inside and looked
C
G
down through the hallway
C
G
Just saw the house and I went back again
Verse 9
G
Oh, the horror, the horror, oh,
C
G
hell and tarnation
The wallpaper's gone now
the wall's painted green,
C
And a tapestry of some vulgar
G
creation
Hung where the old pictori
C
G
al once had been
Verse 10
C
Oh where were the poor little ghosts of
G
the footsteps we'd taken
C
Trapped 'neath the carpets now covering
G
those beautiful boards
C
Memories of you are now turning
G
into strips of ba con
Am
D
My heart was aching
G
C
G
I ran, I ran, till I ran out of running
Verse 11
I tried to go faster than
C
G
what I'd just seen
C
I fell on the footpath all breathless
G
and done in
Looking like I'd just come
C
through Halloween
G

Verse 12
G
Now some memories are precious as a diamond
And others you have to think
C
G
what they could fall
But they're best if they're left in a
C
G
place you can't find 'em
G
Or else you might find
someone's changed the décor.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
