That picture hanging on the wall [Ab] was painted [Eb] by a friend _ _ _
He gave it to me all [Gm] down and out _ [Ab] _
[Eb] when he owed [Bb] me ten
_ _ [Eb] It doesn't look like much I guess but it's all that's left of him
_ _ It sure is nice from [Gm] right over here [Ab] when the [Eb] light's a little [Bb] dim
_ _ _ [Ab] _ Step inside this house girl I'll sing [Eb] for you a song
_ _ I'll tell you about just [Gm] where I've been [Eb] It shouldn't take [Bb] too long
[Ab] I'll show you all the things that I own My [Eb] treasures you might say
_ _ It couldn't be more than [Gm] ten dollars worth [Ab] They [Gm] brighten up [Bb] my day
_ This _ _ _
[Eb] _ book of poems was given me [Ab] by a girl [Eb] I used to know
_ I _ guess I read it [Gm] front to back _ _
[Ab] _ [Eb] fifty [Bb] times or so _
[Eb] It's all about the good life and [Ab] staying at [Eb] ease with the world
It's _ funny how [Gm] I love that book and [Ab] I never [Eb] loved [Bb] that girl _ _
[Ab] Step inside this house girl I'll sing [Eb] for you a song _ _ _
I'll tell you about just [Gm] where I've been _
[Ab] It [Gm] shouldn't take too [Bb] long _
[Ab] I'll show you all the things that I own My treasures [Eb] you might say _
It couldn't be more than ten [Gm] dollars worth [Ab] _
They [Eb] brighten up my [Bb] day _
Now _ _ [Eb] _ you hold this piece of glass up to the light [Ab] that's shining [Eb] through the door
It's _ a prism glass I [Gm] found it on the road [Eb] Can't you see that tiny [Bb] rainbow?
_ _ [Eb] _ _ It's not really a prism I guess it just [Ab] kind of broke [Eb] a funny way
_ I was on my way through [Gm] Houston and [Ab] I was headed [Eb] for [Bb] L.A.
_ _ [Ab] Step inside this house girl I'll sing [Eb] for you a song
I'll tell you about just [Gm] where I've been _ [Ab] It [Eb] shouldn't take too [Bb] long
I'll [Ab] _ show you all the things that I own My treasures [Gm] you [Eb] might say

_ This _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ guitar was given me [Ab] by old [Eb] man Thomas Gray _ _
_ It's not too much [Gm] to look at but [Eb] I play it every [Bb] day
_ [Eb] _
It's been across this country _ [Ab] four or [Eb] five times I guess _ _
_ Between me [Gm] and old man Tom [Ab] it never [Eb] got [Bb] much rest _

I'll _ tell you about just [Gm] where I've been _
[Ab] It [Eb] shouldn't take [Bb] too long _ _ _
[Ab] I'll show you all the things that I own My treasures [Eb] you might say _
It couldn't be more than [Gm] ten dollars worth _
[Ab] They [Eb] brighten up [Bb] my day _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ That's just about all that I own [Ab] all I care [Eb] to I guess
_ Except this pair [Gm] of boots maybe and [Eb] that funny yellow [Bb] vest
And [Eb] _ that leather jacket and that leather bag and that hat hanging on the wall
_ Just so it's not too much to [Gm] carry babe [Ab] Could I see [Eb] you again [Bb] next fall
_ _ [Ab] _ Step inside this house girl I'll sing [Eb] for you a song
