A  Bm  G D
This one goes to market
  A              Bm       G D
This one makes a meal at home
               A  Bm G D
This one has closets
           A              Bm  G         D
While the have-nots down the way have none

     A        Bm            G         D
So I go to the mountains, I go to the river
   A      Bm    G  D
I pilot machines
              A  Bm G D
People have places
          A         Bm             G  D
And the places have the people's dreams

[Chorus]
A              Bm   G             D
Oh, puff puff and blow the house down [x2]
A                  Bm
Oh, puff puff and blow the house down
                     A  Bm                  A
And down, and down, and blow the house down
Bm                                        A  Bm
Blow the house down, and down, and down, and blow the house down

[Verse 2]
                        A  Bm  G  D
There's a song for the robbers
        A        Bm         G   D
On the other side of windowpanes
                A  Bm  G  D
A song for the cowboys
            A           Bm        G  D
Held up in hundred-mile-an-hour trains
            A            Bm         G         D
And there's one for the lovers, and one for the sinners
           A          Bm  G D
That they sing in the pews
             A   Bm  G D
Short of distinctions
               A         Bm               G  D
I'd say we've all grown tired of singing blues

[Verse 2]
A              Bm   G             D
Oh, puff puff and blow the house down [x2]
A                  Bm
Oh, puff puff and blow the house down
                     A  Bm                   A
And down, and down, and blow the house down
Bm                                        A  Bm                      A  Bm
Blow the house down, and down, and down, and blow the house down
