"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]

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TRAFFIC tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
