The House Next Door

A                      F#m
the house next door is worn and old,
A                      F#m
I don't know how it can hold so
        D                          
but the people living there are so 
E
close together
D                                 
that old house can stand any kind 
   E
of weather

    A                      F#m
and my house, it's like a mansion
A                      F#m
standing so great and tall
         D                   E
but for all the love that's in it
                   A  D  A
it might as well fall

A                           F#m
the car they drive it's not much to 
see
A                      F#m
it's kinda beat up and raggedy
        D                      
but it takes them anyplace they 
 E
wanna go

     D                       E
it takes them to a park or a movie 
show

A                         F#m
and listen my car, its a new car
            A                   F#m
oh it's the best of any they've made
         D               E
but for all the joy it brings me
                      A D A
I might as well trade

                       A
'cause I gotta find love
              F#m
I gotta find love
               A              C#m

they got half a dozen kids that 
      Gm
they can hardly feed
        Bb                  
well they're always short of 
   Gm
everything they need
      Eb               F
well even though they haven't got a 
lot
      Eb                  F
they seem so content with what 
they've got

    Bb               Gm
and I've got all the money
   Bb             Gm
a man could ever hope to save
         Eb               F
but for all the love it brings me
              Bb Eb Bb
I'd give it away
