Our House by Madness

chords by Matt Poole of England, England.

This is my first tab, after years of leeching. I've missed out the lead guitar
bits out of pure laziness, for which I can only apologize. In the meantime, put
on your best London accent and enjoy...

Verse 2 (as verse 1)
Our house it has a crowd 
There's always something happening

Something tells you that you've got to get away from it 

Verse 3 (same old same old)

Then she sends the kids to school

In lots of ways
 
(Same as)
Our house , in the middle of our street 
Our house , in the middle of our ... 

Quick singing bit uses verse chords - as does verse 4...

I remember way back then when everything was true and when 
We would have such avery good time such afine time 
Such a happy time 
And I remember how we'd play simply waste the day away 
Then we'd say nothing would come between us two dreamers 
Father wears his Sunday best 
Mother's tired she needs arest 
The kids are playing up downstairs 
Sister's sighing in her sleep 
Brother's got a date to keep 
He can't hang around 

D   Am	    Em	    Gm
Our house , in the middle of our street 
D   Am	    Em	    Gm

Our house , was our castle and our keep

Our house , in the middle of our street 

Peace.
