STEP INSIDE THIS HOUSE
Written by Guy Clark
 
Capo 3rd fret
 
 
[Verse 1]
C
That picture hangin' on the wall
    F          C/E      C
Was painted by a friend
C                       Em
He gave it to me all down and out
F         C/E     G
 When he owed me ten
C
It doesn't look like much I guess
          F           C/E       C
But it's all that's left of him
   C                       Em
It sure is nice from right over here
          F           C/E     G
When the light's a little dim
 
 
[Chorus]
F
Step inside this house girl
     F        C/E    C
I'll sing for you a song
C                              Em
I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been
F            C/E      G
It shouldn't take too long
F
I'll show you all the things that I own
F            C/E       C
My treasures you might say
C                                    Em
It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
F             C/E   G
They brighten up my day
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
This book of poems was given me
      F       C/E        C
By a girl I used to know
C                          Em
I guess I read it front to back
F       C/E      G
 Fifty times or so
C
It's all about the good life
               F     C/E          C
And stayin' at ease with the world
     C            Em
It's funny how I love that book
      F         C/E     G
And I never loved that girl
 
 
[Chorus]
F
Step inside this house girl
     F        C/E    C
I'll sing for you a song
C                              Em
I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been
F            C/E      G
It shouldn't take too long
F
I'll show you all the things that I own
F            C/E       C
My treasures you might say
C                                    Em
It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
F             C/E   G
They brighten up my day
 
 
[Verse 3]
C
Now you hold this piece of glass up to the light
         F              C/E     C
That's shinin' through the door
C                              Em
It's a prism glass, I found it on the road
          F          C/E     G
Can't you see that tiny rainbow
C
It's not really a prism I guess
                F         C/E     C
It just kind of broke a funny way
       C                 Em
I was on my way through Houston
          F       C/E  G
And I was headed for L.A.
 
 
[Chorus]
F
Step inside this house girl
     F        C/E    C
I'll sing for you a song
C                              Em
I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been
F            C/E      G
It shouldn't take too long
F
I'll show you all the things that I own
F            C/E       C
My treasures you might say
C                                    Em
It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
F             C/E   G
They brighten up my day
 
 
[Verse 4]
     C
This guitar was given me
     F      C/E        C
By old man Thomas Gray
   C                          Em
It's not too much to look at
F        C/E    G
But I play it every day
C
It's been across this country
          F         C/E     C
Four or five times I guess
       C                 Em
Between me and old man Tom
          F         C/E   G
It never got much rest
 
 
[Chorus]
F
Step inside this house girl
     F        C/E    C
I'll sing for you a song
C                              Em
I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been
F            C/E      G
It shouldn't take too long
F
I'll show you all the things that I own
F            C/E       C
My treasures you might say
C                                    Em
It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
F             C/E   G
They brighten up my day
 
 
[Verse 5]
     C
Well that's just about all I own
     F      C/E        C
All I care to I guess
   C                          Em
Except this pair of boots maybe
F        C/E    G
And that funny yellow vest
C
And that leather jacket and that leather bag
          F         C/E     C
And that hat hangin' on the wall
       C                 Em
Just so it's not too much to carry babe
          F         C/E   G
Could I see you again next Fall
 
 
[Chorus]
F
Step inside this house girl
     F        C/E    C
I'll sing for you a song
C                              Em
I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been
F            C/E      G
It shouldn't take too long
F
I'll show you all the things that I own
F            C/E       C
My treasures you might say
C                                    Em
It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
F             C/E   G
They brighten up my day
