                          "House For Everyone"
                              (Dave Mason)

Intro:

	(w/tenor sax, 4X; interrupted by guiro first time)

	Am       Em
	 / / / /  / / / /

Verse 1:

	    C
	My bed is made of candy floss
	     Eb
	The house is made of cheese
	      C
	It's lit by lots of glowworms
	        Eb
	If I'm wrong correct me please

[repeat intro, 2X]

Verse 2:

	The village is a pop-up book
	The people wooden dolls
	The roads are made from treacle
	Think it's time that I moved on

[repeat intro, 2X]

Bridge:

	   Dm7             G
	My boat is half a walnut shell
	    Dm7              G
	The journey will be long
	     Dm7                   G
	So I filled the hold with peppermints
	     Dm7               G
	And creamy pink blancmange

	   F
	I sailed away for fifteen days
	    F#
	It never once got dark
	     F
	And came upon two large houses
	F#
	Set out in a park

Verse 3:

	On the door of one was truth
	On the other door was lies
	Which one should I enter through
	I really must decide

[repeat intro, w/lyrics:]

	     Am                                   Em
	The door marked lies had lots of flowers growing 'round outside
	     Am                             Em
	But looking closer, noticed it was crumbling inside

Verse 4:

	The door marked truth was very plain
	But stood up very strong
	And when I entered thru its door
	I knew I wasn't wrong

Coda:

	(w/tenor sax and flute)

	Cm       Ebm       [4X]
	 / / / /  / / / /

	(w/bass; start slowing down)

	Cm       Ebm       [2X]
	 / / / /  / / / /

	Cm
	 / / / /  / / / /   / / / /  /
