When I Leave This House

Intro - A



(verse 1)
A
Just like Cain & Able, I let the devil come 'round,
           D                                A
Now I'm the king of the garden, wear a snake for a crown,
        E                                        A
When the lord points his finger, baby I'm goin' down,


(verse 2)
A
Well, I'm no Hells Angel, But I like to pretend,
       D                              A
I'm the king of the highway, On the prairie wind,
      E                                             A
With a black leather soul, gonna ride to the bitter end, here we go


(chorus)
A
When I leave this house, I ain't coming back,

When I leave this house, I ain't coming back,
D
Tie my sins to a railroad track,
A
Carve my initials with chicken scratch,
E
The Garden of Eden hasn't broken my back,
        A                                   A
When I leave this house, I ain't coming back


(verse 3)
Well, hey now mama, Don't let your love dry up,
I'm a hungry child, with an empty cup,
You can't feed your babies, when you're all shook up

(chorus,
yeah, When I leave this house, I ain't coming back,
When I leave this house, I ain't coming back,
Tie my sins to a railroad track,
Carve my initials with chicken scratch,
The Garden of Eden hasn't broken my back,
When I leave this house,I ain't coming back

(verse 4)
Well, I'm no Hells Angel,
But I like to pretend I'm the king of the highway,
On the prairie wind,
With a black leather soul I'm gonna ride to the bitter end,
