_ I want to tell you a story about _ the house went blue. _ _ _
_ _ I come home one Friday. _ _
Had to tell the landlady I done lost my job. _ _
_ _ _ She said, that don't confront me,
_ long as I get my money next Friday. _ _
Now, next Friday come, I didn't get the rent.
_ [Am] And out the door I [Em] went. _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So I goes to the landlady. _
_ [Em] _ [E] _ _ _ I said, you let me slide.
_ _ _ _ _ I have the rent for it.
I'm all the next, I don't know. _ _ _
_ _ _ So she said, let me slide it on, you know, people.
_ _ I notice when I come home in the evening,
_ _ _ _ _ _ she ain't got nothing nice to say to me. _ _ _ _
But for five years, she was so nice. _
Know what she would never done it? _ _ _ _
I come home one particular evening,
_ _ the [C] landlady said, you got the [E] rent money yet?
_ I said, no.
_ Can't find no job.
Therefore, I got no money to pay the rent.
_ _ _ _ She said, I don't believe you try to find no [Em] job.
_ [D] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ Said, I seen you today, you was standing on a corner,
_ leaning up against a post. _
I said, but I'm tired.
_ _ _ I've been [Bm] walking all day.
[E] _ _ She said, that don't confront me,
_ _ long as I get my money next Friday. _
_ _ Now, next Friday come, I didn't have the rent.
And out the door [Em] I went. _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So I go down the street, _ _ down to my good friend's house.
_ _ _ I said, look man, _ _ _ _ _ I'm outdoors, you know.
Can I stay with you maybe a couple of days? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He said, let me go and ask my [C#m] wife.
[E] _ _ He come out of the house, I seen his face.
I know there was no.
_ He said, I don't know man, she kind of funny and all.
_ I said, I know, _ everybody funny.
_ Now you for that too. _ _
_ _ _ So I go back home, _ I tell the landlady,
_ [Bm] I got a job, [E] I'm gonna pay the rent.
She said, yeah.
I said, oh yeah.
_ _ _ _ And then she was so nice. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Lord, she was lovely. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go. _ _
_ _ I slip on out the back [Em] door. _

she'd be lucky to get in the back rent.
