This is a great song of Warren's. There's a haromica part in the begining, after every
solo, and the end. I'll try to find it and post it on here. Enjoy.
GI had the shit till it all got smoked
CI kept the promise till the vow got broke
CI had to drink from the lovin' cup
GI stood on the banks till the river rose up
CI saw the bride in her wedding gown
AI was in the house when the house burnCed down
G C Em G
GI may be old and I may be bent
CBut I had the money till it all got spent
CI had the money till they made me pay
GThe I had the sense to be on my way
CI had to stay in the underground
AI was in the house when the house burnCed down
G C Em G
CI was in the house when the house burned down
GI met the man with the thorny crown
CI helped him carry his cross through town
AI was in the house when the house burCned down
G C Em G

Thats it. It sounds close. I'll try and find the harmonica.
