Intro: C G F C C G F C
C G F C
Mama rise on the couch in her old wedding gown
C G F C
She turned pale long before the carnival had left town
C G F C
She stares at the front porch on the outlook for dad
Am G F C
''Don't worry, I'll be back in a week'' is the last thing he said
C G F C
We all knew he gambled in the city and lost
C G F C
Money we didn't have must've be the line that he crossed
C G F C
It's been over a year instead of a week
Am G F G C C G F C C G F C
Here in our house, our house by the creek.
C G F C
Me and my family live in the Netherlands
C G F C
In the house that he build with his bare hands
C G F C
My younger brother Jimmy is playing outside
C G F C
With his cap gun he tries to shoot planes from the sky
C G F C
In his chair by the window sits uncle Fred
C G F C
Since he's back from the war there ain't a word he has said
C G F C
And Fred calls my sister as she passed away sir
C G F C
Sometimes in my dreams I catch up with dad and with her
C G F C
What we end up with is not what we seek
Am G F G C C G F C C G F C 2x
Here in our house, our house by the creek.
C G F C
My name is Louis, it's Louis all right
C G F C
I play dad's old accordion all day and all night
C G F C
I just turned eleven, so I'm still a kid
C G F C
But when I grow up I wanna find out what daddy did
C G F C
Mister believe me, I was thought not to cry
C G F C
And that family should stay together till the day that you die
C G F C
Yeah mister believe me, I was thought boys don't cry
Am G F C
And that the town where you're born is the town where you'll die
Am G F C
That the town where you're born is where you'll probably die.
C G F C C G F C 4x
C G F C
What did God wanna show he created man weak
Am G F G C
We don't understand in our house by the creek.
