Verse 2
At the age of four, my mama done died
My daddy started in drink (E major) in'
And he (A minor) left me by an orphanage door
Said, "Get the (C major) rest of your
life (G major) for thinkin' (A minor) now"
Verse 3
At the (B minor) age of eight
Thoughts filled my mind
I had to run, had to run away (F sharp major)
And (B minor) I met a bum by the name of Joe
And he (D major) told me (A major) I could stay (B minor) now
Verse 4
Now, Joe (B minor) said, "Earn your keep, boy
Man's gotta work for every meal" (F sharp major)
And (B minor) Joe, he taught me how to rob, Lord
(D major) He taught me (A major) how to steal
(B minor)
Verse 5
(C minor) Age 13, I was a restless lad
And Joe said,
"Little drink do you no (G major) harm"
But by (C minor) 15 years a- drinkin'
meant nothin'
Com (E flat major) pared to these holes (B flat major) in my arm
(C minor)
Verse 6
Now, I'm (A minor) not a violent man
I can't stand killin'
Without a reason to be done (E major)
But when my (A minor) friend Joe started
stealin' my brandy
(C major) Shot him with a second- (G major) hand (A minor) gun
Verse 7
(B minor) People don't know
What pain it is runnin'
So even a man of 30 cries with (F sharp major) tears
But I've been (B major) livin' (B minor)
on crumbs and (D major) sterno
Nigh under (A major) 15 years
(B minor)
Verse 8
My (F minor) strength is gone, my eyes are closin'
It's gettin' dark and oh, so (C major) cold
But it's nice (F minor) and warm
In the place I'll be goin' to
Will (A minor) probably have me shovelin' (E flat major)
coal (F minor) now
(A minor)
Verse 9
So let it now be said
That a man ain't been livin'
That he spends life in vain (E major)
'Cause (A minor) I spend 30 cold,
windy, thirsty years
(C major) Inside the (G major) house of pain (A minor) now
Verse 10
(C major) Inside the (G major) house of pain (A minor)
(C major) Inside the (G major) house of pain (A minor)
