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 1
C Gm
Father wears his Sunday best
Dm
Mother's tired she needs a rest
Fm
The kids are playing up downstairs
C Gm
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Dm
Brother's got a date to keep
Fm
He can't hang around
Chorus
D Am Em Gm
Our house , in the middle of our street
Our house , in the middle of our ...
Verse 2 (as verse 1)
Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum she's so house proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed
chorus (as before)
Our house , in the middle of our street
Our house , in the middle of our ...
B F#m C#m Em
Our house , in the middle of our street
B F#m C#m Em
Our house , in the middle of our ...
Something tells you that you've got to get away from it
Verse 3 (same old same old)
Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with asmall kiss
She's the one they're going to miss
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 , in the middle of our street
B F#m C#m Em
Our house , in the middle of our street
B F#m C#m Em
Our house , in the middle of our ...
C Gm Dm Fm
Our house , was our castle and our keep
C Gm Dm Fm
Our house , in the middle of our street
D Am Em Gm
Our house , that was where we used to sleep
D Am Em Gm
Our house , in the middle of our street
B F#m C#m Em
Our house , in the middle of our street
Peace.

| Love this song. In middle school, I would go over to my friend's house... there would be a bunch of us... and her parents wouldn't be home. We'd turn the stereo up full blast, open the windows, and let this song play. It was so loud, you could hear it in the street, which was fun for us... 'cause we'd dance in the street to it occasionally... but their neighbors didn't like it too much. Mmmm... love it. | |

| Practically anybody on the planet can relate to this song. One of their best singles. Has ZinbobDan just woken up from an acid-induced coma? | |
