I want to tell you a story _ about _ the house I'm blue. _
_ _ _ _ _
I come home one Friday, _ _ had to tell a landlady that 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 [E] the rent, _ and out the door I went.
[Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So I goes to the landlady, _ _ _ _ _ _ I said, you let me slide.
_ _ _ _ _
I have the rent for you tomorrow, the next day I don't know.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ So she said, let me slide it on, you know people.
_ _ I notice when I come home in the evening, _ _ _ _ _ _ she ain't got nothing nice to say to me. _ _ _ _ _
But for five years, she was so [Bm] nice.
You know what, she would never do it. _
_ _ _ _ I come home one particular evening, _ _ _ the landlady said, you got the rent money yet? _
I said, 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 seen you today, you were standing on a corner, leaning up against a post.
_ _ I said, but I'm tired, _ _ _ I've been walking all day.
_ _ 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, 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, and I'll stay with you maybe a couple days.
_ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ He said, let me go and ask my wife.
_ _ _ He come out of the house, I could see in his face, I know there was no.
_ He said, I don't know man, she got a funny and all. _
I said, I know, _ everybody funny, _ now you funny too.
_ _ _ _ _ _
So I go back home, _ I tell the landlady, _ [Bm] I got a job, [E] I'm gonna pay the rent.
She said, yeah, I said, oh yeah, _ _ _ and then she was so nice. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now I want you to love each other. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
So I go in my room, _ pack up my things and I go. _ _ _ _
