Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Here's House, my personal favorite off the album. The album's tuning is a little weird
but half step down is close enough and sounds good if you play it by yourself. Look
below, I wrote it all out in tab too.
INTRO: (lead below)
D A G x4
VERSE:
D A G
7 o’clock and I’m 7 deep.
D A G
Trying to shake off some chick who made my knees weak.
D A G
I plan on waking in a pile of puke
D A G
from a night spent drinking to forget you.
D A G x4
CHORUS:
G D A G D A
I think I found bravery, he was dressed in wood and strings.
G D A G D A
I embraced him as a friend and have been laughing at danger ever since.
G D A G D A
If this is growing up, I’ve been a child far too long
G D A
cause I am poised to take on the world
G D A
with this bottle of Jack on your front lawn.
G Gm
But I’m not telling you,
VERSE 2: (see below)
D A G
Cause I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news,
D A G
Cause I’d rather not upset you.
D A G
You said that everybody runs,
D A G
well you were the one I ran to.
Em G
But you’re not here anymore, case and point:
BRIDGE:
Bm A D G
That is why I’m passed out on this bathroom floor.
Bm A D G
I guess everyone was right when they said I had a little more
Bm A D G
than I should’ve in the first place, let’s talk about your face
Bm A D G
and how I won’t never ever see it again,
Bm A D
don’t fucking show your face again.
D A G x4
VERSE:
D A G D A G
You said the only place that you felt safe was in your humble home.
D A G D A G
Well darling, I couldn’t find the key so I threw a cello through your window.
D A G
You’re not safe in your house now.
D A G
You’re not safe in your house anymore.
D A G
You’re not safe in your house now.
D A G
You’re not safe in your house anymore.
