[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I want to tell you a story about _ the house run blue.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I come home one Friday, _ _ had to tell the landlady I lost my job. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ She said, that don't confront me, _ as long as I get my money next Friday. _
_ Now next Friday come I didn't get the [D] rent, [E]
and [A] out the door I [Em] went. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So I goes to the landlady, _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ I said, you let me slide. _
_ _ _ _ _ I have the rent for it tomorrow, the next I don't know. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ She said, let me slide it on, you know people.
_ _ I know that's why I come home in the evening.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _
_ She ain't got nothing nice to say to me. _
_ _ _ But for five years, she was so [Bm] [E] nice.
You know, she would never tell it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ I come home one particular evening, _ _ _ the landlady said, you got the rent money yet?
_ I said, [Bm] no.
[E] _ Can't find no job, therefore I ain't got no money to pay the rent. _ _ _ _ _
She said, I don't believe you're trying to find no [Em] job.
[D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
Said, I saw you today, you were standing on a corner, _ leaning up against a post.
_ _ I said, but I'm tired.
_ _ _ _ I've been walking all [D] day.
[E] _ _ She said, that don't confront me, _ _ as long as I get my money next Friday.
_ _ _ Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent, _ [F] and out the door I went.
[Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So I go down the street, _ _ down to my good friend's house.
_ _ I said, look man, _ _ _ _ _ I'm out doors, you know.
I'm going to stay with you maybe a couple days. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
She said, let me go and ask my wife. _ _ _
I come out of the house, I seen his face.
I know it was low.
_ He said, I don't know man, she's kind of funny and all. _
I said, I know, _ _ everybody's funny.
_ Now you're funny too. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So I go back home, _ _ I tell the lady, _ _ I got a [Bm] job, [E] I'm going to pay the rent.
_ She said, yeah.
I said, oh yeah. _ _ _
_ And then she was so nice. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Lord, she was loving that. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [E] So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go. _ _
_ _ _ I slip on out the back [Em] door, _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ down the street I go. _ _ _
She hollering about the front rent, she'll be lucky to get in the back rent.
[Em] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] She ain't going to get none of it. _ _ _
So I stop in a local bar, you know, people. _ _
