                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!
