Our House Chords

 OUR HOUSE, Madness

          G                       D
       1. Father wears his Sunday best,
          Am
          Mother's tired she needs a rest,
          Sister's sighing in her sleep,
          G                       D
          Brother's got a date to keep,
              C
          The kids are playing up downstairs
          He can't hang around

          A   E      B      D             A
     Ch:  Our house, in the middle of our street
              E    B        D
          Our house, in the middle of our ...

          G                  D
          Our house it has a crowd,
          Am
          there's always something happening and
          our mum she's so house-proud,
          G                      D
          nothing ever slows her down and
               C
          it's usually quite loud
          a mess is not allowed

          Chorus

          A                   E                  B             D
          Something tells you that you've got to get away from it

          G                       D
          Father gets up late for work,
          Am
          Mother has to iron his shirt,

          Sees them off with a small kiss,
          G                           D
          she's the one they're going to
          C
          then she sends the kids to school
          missed in lots of ways

          Chorus

          I remember way back then when everything was true and when
          We would have such a very good time such a fine 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

          A   E      B      D             A
          Our house, was our castle and our keep
          Our house, in the middle of our street
          Our house, that was where we used to sleep
          Our house, in the middle of our street
          Our house, in the middle of our street
