Song: Behind the House
Tabbed by: Alyssa Boone
Moderate strumming without a pick,but with lots of heart....
Em G C Em
At night' I woke up cryin' in the lane behind the house
Em G C Em
Ghosts wet and steamin' by the time I figured it out
C Em
You didn't die in the fire
C Em
Was the flood that carried you from me
C Em
And the embers of your house still glowin'
B7
Make it hard, hard, hard to...
C Em
Sleep....eep
C Em
It's hard to breathe
Em G C
Not much room to go more crazy
Em G C Em
A flamin' sword above my head for all of you to see
C Em
Beware my girl, beware
Beware my girl, beware! of these
B7
Memories, ies, ies... and what is
C Em
Real.......eal
Em C Em
What is reeeeeeaaaaaaallll
Em
(strum briefly)
C Em
I walk this world forever in a dream
C Em
Or is this the land of the living?
C Em
Or is this your way to tell me
B7
That I, I, I couldn't
C Em
Save you, ooooo ooo ooo
Em C Em
I Couldn't save you ooo oo oo
Em G C Em
(strum out with this progression X2, gradually slowing your pace the second time through)
