House Rent Party Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Case[D][Em]
She was standin' on the corner
of wonderland [A]and woe
[D]Waitin' for the light to change
and [B]wonderin' where to go
Take the [Em]bottles to the grocery,
the records [A]to the shop
[D]Or step out on the sidewalk and
[B]make some traffic stop

[Verse 2]
'Cause the [Am]phone is disconnec[D]ted,
[Em]landlord's at the [D]door
[Em]Tow truck at the curb side's [D]here to
re[Em]possess [B]the Ford

[Verse 3]
And there's a [C]house rent party [Em]tonight,
[D]everybody sha[Em]ke
We're [C]gonna blow the roof sky [D]high,
see how much [Em]we can take
When they [C]put you on the street,
you can sit and watch [Em]the dawn
[D]But there's something you can do when
you're last [B]gold dollar's gone
[Em][B][Em]

[Verse 4]
He's in his double breasted jacket
and some cherry wing [A]tip shoes
[D]Big 'ol hat with a feather
high and a pock[B]et flask of booze
But he [Em]can 't afford the treatments
and there ain't no [A]other cure
[D]Sad to say without no pay, he won't
[B]get well no more
Then the [A]night falls [Am]up on [D]Broadway,

[Verse 5]
the [Am]neon starts to shine
[D]The dan[Am]cers in the love act are get
[D]tin' ready [Em]for t[B]he grind
And there's [C]a house rent party

[Verse 6]
[Em]tonight,
[D]everybody sha[Em]ke
[C]People come from miles around,
[D]now we're gonna catch [Em]a break[G]
I [C]know we're gonna make it,
don't care what I have to do
[A]'Cause I kno[D]w you'd do the same
for me as [B]I would do for you
And there's a [C]house rent party
[Em]to n[D]ight

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G][C][D]
[Em]

[Verse 7]
So I bought a lucky [Em]ticket
and pinned it to the [D]shelf
I put one away for you baby
and [B]kept one for myself
I'm [Em]gonna take my winnings,
I'm gonna dis[D]ap [A]pear
[D]I'm gonna start a brand new band,
we'll play [B]anywhere but here
'Cause [C]nothin's

[Verse 8]
comin' in[D],
sugar, noth[C]in's goin' [D]out
When [C]there's nothin' left to talk about
[D]seems [C]all we [D]do is shout
And there's a [C]house rent party

[Verse 9]
[Em]tonight,
[D]everybody sha[Em]ke[G]
We're [C]gonna blow the [Em]roof sky [D]high,
see how much [Em]we can take[G]
'Cause [C]nothin's

[Verse 10]
comin' in,
sugar, nothin's goin' out
There's [D]nothin' left to talk about
and [B]all we do is shout
And there's [C]a house rent
party [Em]to n[D]ight
[Em][Em]
