■ Want to tell you a story
                   E    
About the houseman blues


[Verse]
  E                   
I come home one Friday
                                   E     
Had to tell the landlady I'da lost my job
E                              
She said that don't confront me
              E                   
Long as I get my money next Friday
                                  E       
Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent
                        G E7 E
And out the door I went ■ ■  ■


[Chorus]
             E           
So I goes to the landlady
E                      
I said you let me slide
                           E         
I'll have the rent for you in a month
E                
Next I don't know


[Verse]
            E             
So said let me slide it on
                E                       
I notice when I come home in the evening
                                     E 
She ain't got nothing nice to say to me
             E                   
But for five year she was so nice
E                    
Loh' she was lovydovy
E                                 
I come home one particular evening
    E            
The landlady said
            E             
You got the rent money yet
E                          
I said no can't find no job
E                             
Therefore I ain't got no money
       E       
To pay the rent
    E                   
She said I don't believe
                             D E
You're tryin' to find no job ■ ■
                E                                 
Said I seen you today you was standin' on a corner
E                        
Leaning up against a post
               E    
I said but I'm tired
          E              
I've been walkin' all day
              E                
She said that don't confront me
                            E     
Long as I get my money next Friday
                                       E   
Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent
                 E     
And out the door I went
        E               
So I go down the streets
E                             
Down to my good friend's house
  E            
I said look man
E                    
I'm outdoors you know
      E                                
Can I stay with you maybe a couple days
                  E              
He said let me go and ask my wife
        E               
He come out of the house
               E          
I could see it in his face
            E7    
I know that was no
E                       
He said I don't know man
       E7                  
Ah she kinda funny you know
         E   
I said I know
                E                
Everybody funny now you funny too
E                
So I go back home
                            E7 
I tell the landlady I got a job
E                       
■ I'm gonna pay the rent
    E                       
She said yeah I said oh yeah
    E                   
And then she was so nice
E                    
Loh' she was lovydovy
           E      
So I go in my room
        E                 
Pack up my things and I go
  E                        
I slip on out the back door
    E                    
And down the streets I go
             E                   
She ahowlin' about the front rent
                           E        
She'll be lucky to get any back rent
    E                         
She ain't gonna get none of it
     E
