I don t really listen to these guys much, but I heard this cover, and really liked it,
so I thought I d tab it out. I may have to check them out more. This has a very Brian
Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem) feel to it.
Thrice - Come On Up to the House (Tom Waits cover)
Album - Daytrotter Sessions
Key F Chords:
Capo I Chords: (I think this is how he plays it)
Capo V Chords: (this is how I play it)
Verse: Capo I (Chord changes aren t exact, but the timing s easy to follow.)
Well the moon is broken, and the sky is cracked.
Come on up to the house.
The only things you can see, is all that you lack.
You gotta come on up to the house.
All your crying, dont do no good.
Come on up to the house.
Come down from the cross, we can use the wood.
Gotta come on up to the house.
Chorus:
Come on up to the house.
Come on up to the house.
The world is not my home, I m just passin through.
Gotta come on up to the house.
(The rest of the song follows the same pattern)
There s no light in the tunnel, no irons in the fire.
Come on up to the house.
And you re singing lead soprano, in a junkman s choir.
Come on up to the house.
Does life seem nasty, brutish, and short.
Come on up to the house.
The seas are stormy, and you can find no port.
Come on up to the house.
Chorus
Well there s nothing in the world that you can do.
Gotta come on up to the house.
And you ve been whipped by the forces that are inside you.
Gotta come on up to the house.
Well you re high on top of the mountain of woe.
Come on up to the house.
And you know you should surrender, but you can t let it go.
Gotta come on up to the house.
Chorus
Yeah (end)
