From Warren Zevon's last album. I first heard this song in the WZ documentary done shortly
after his death; he did some great solos with Bruce Springsteen on this one, if I were a
better lead guitarist I'd have figured those out too (maybe later), so that's why this is
in the "Chords" collection. I did include the intro riff because its pretty easy even for
a hack like me ;) It sounds alright if you just repeat this riff in the solos, with the
normal verse chord changes, but if you get a chance check out the recording. You can hear
The Boss laughing at the end of the song, they must have had a LOT of fun with those solos!
Intro Riff:
B|-------------------------------------|
G|-2--2-----2---2----------------------|
D|-2--2-----2---2----------------------|
A|-2--2-----2---2----------0--3--0-----|
E|------------------0--3------------3--|
[Start the intro with standard A chord strummed 4 times, followed by 0-3 the riff
on the 6th and 5th strings]
[Repeat this pattern x 2, followed by a "Hey" then play this part 2x more]
[Verse]:
DisAorder in the house - the Dtub runneth over
APlaster's falling down in pieces by the couch of Epain
DisAorder in the house - Dtime to duck and cover
AHelicopters Ehover over rough terArain
---------------------
[Verse]:
DisAorder in the house - Dreptile wisdom
AZombies on the lawn staggering aEround
DisAorder in the house - there's a Dflaw in the system
And the Afly in the ointment's Egonna bring the whole thing Adown
---------------------
[Bridge #1]:
The Dfloodgates are open - We've Alet the demons loose
The Dbig guns have spoken - And we've F#fallen Efor the Aruse
---------------------
[Solo #1 over Verse pattern here]

[Verse]:
DisAorder in the house - It's a Dfate worse than fame
AEven the Lhasa Apso seems to be aEshamed
DisAorder in the house - The Ddoors are coming off the hinges
The Aearth will open and Eswallow up the real esAtate
---------------------
[Bridge, slightly different and longer than the 1st Bridge]:
I Djust got my paycheck - I'm Agonna paint the whole town grey
DWhether it's a night in Paris - or a AFresno matinee
It’s thDe home of the brave - and thAe land of the free
Where the F#less you know, the Ebetter off you'll Abe
---------------------

[Verse]:
DisAorder in the house - Dall bets are off
I'm Asprawled across the davenport of desEpair
DisAorder in the house - I'll Dlive with the losses
And Awatch the sundown Ethrough the portieDre…here we go!
