Where My House Stood

Am               D
Concret steps, mockingbird feeder

wrap around porch , rusted hot water
 heater
C                             
washing machine thumpin on that 
            D
hardwood floor

Oak tree tire swing, rain in the 
gutters
D
screen door slammin, momma's cookin 
with butter
C                                 
breeze is blowin in through the 
          D
red french doors

[Bridge]
G                          C
And all these things are responsible
 for ways
G                                
that have planted my feet on a firm 
C
foundation

[Chorus]
Dm                        C
Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, 
please
       F                         G
when times get tough you better hit 
your knees

Dm                         C
Don't you go callin that kettle 
black
               F               G
and when you get ticked off, water 
off a duck's back
                      C   G       
living by the good word, built on 
           C
more than wood
                        D    C F 
that's where my house stood
G D C F G


[Verse 2]
C
Tiptoein' down that muddy creek 
water
                         D
Tractor cranks up and I hear daddy 
holler
C                                 
You know them beans ain't gonna 
         D
pick themselves
C                D
Moonshine in and out comes the 
guitar

Stompin' my feet to the sound of 
that freight car
C
Even though the rooster crows early
                  D
we ain't goin to bed

[Bridge]
     G                     C
And all these things are responsible
 for ways
           G                    C
that have planted my feet on a firm 
foundation

[Chorus]
Dm                      C
Say yes sir, no ma'am, thank you, 
please
      F                          G
when times get tough you better hit 
your knees
Dm                        C
don't you go callin that kettle 
black
              F                G
and when you get ticked off, water 
off a duck's back
                     C    G       
living by the good word, built on 
           C
more than wood
                        D   C F G D
that's where my house stood
