Madness - Our House
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~
G D Am
Father wears his Sunday best, Mother´s tired she needs a rest,
C
the kids are playing up downstairs
G D Am
Sister´s sighing in her sleep, brother´s got a date to keep,
C
he can´t hang around
Chorus:
A Em G D A
Our house, in the middle of our street
E Bm D
Our house, in the middle of our
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 mes is not allowed
Chorus 2x
A E Bm D
Something tells you that you´ve got to get away from it
G D Am
Father gets up late for work, Mother has to iron his shirt,
C
then she sends the kids to school
G D Am
Sees them off with a small kiss, she´s the one they´re going
C G
to miss in lots of ways
Piano n´ shit (Solo)
Chorus
Trompet - Violin (Solo)
I remember way back then when everything was true and when
We would have such a very goot time such a fine 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
Chorus 2x
Father wears his Sunday best mother´s tired she needs a rest
the kids are playing up downstairs
sister´s sighing in her sleep, brother´s got a date to keep
he can´t hang around
Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street
END
My friend and I played this together, him on his Yamaha organ
and me on my Ibanez 12 string- sounded brillinat!

this passage is followed by crazy chords, which is madness
..you can try with an octave pedal..
AND HERE IS THE SOLO
u can play the solo in perfect octave formation
which will give it a full harmonic effect

or
you can play just the low notes, (the bass movement) notes
e.g
/---------------------etc--/e
/---------------------etc--/B
/-----------------0---etc--/G
/------2---3----------etc--/D ~
/--3------------------etc--/A ~
/--------------------------/E ~ etc. etc.
play with some disortion and extra slop on the side.
and heres the bass... for all the base-heads out there
