The House Where Nobody Lives Uke tab by Tom Waits

Eb                        Bb
There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold
 Eb                      Ab
Folks moved out of it a long time ago
          Eb                               Bb
And they took all their things, and they never came back
  Eb                               Ab    
Looks like its haunted, with the windows all cracked
     Eb                    Bb
And everyone calls it the house
                        Ab         Eb
The house where nobody lives

  Ab   
Once it held laughter, once it held dreams
          Eb
Did they throw it away, do they know what it means
  Ab
Did someone's heart break, 
   F7                       Bb     Bb7
Or did someone do somebody wrong

         Eb                                    Bb 
Well the paint was all cracked, it was peeled off the wood
Eb                         Ab 
Papers were stacked on the porch where I stood
        Eb                         Bb 
And the weeds had grown up just as high as the door
           Eb                          Ab 
There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers
           Eb                    Bb 
Looks like no-one will ever come back to
                       Ab        Eb
The house where nobody lives

  Ab   
Once it held laughter, once it held dreams
          Eb
Did they throw it away, do they know what it means
  Ab
Did someone's heart break, 
   F7                       Bb     Bb7
Or did someone do somebody wrong

    Eb                             Bb 
So if you find someone, someone to have, someone to hold
      Eb                         Ab
Don't trade it for silver, don't trade it for gold
           Eb     
Cos I have all of life's treasures, 
            Bb 
and they're fine and they're good
     Eb                        Ab
They remind me that houses are just made of wood
     Eb                                 Bb  
What makes a house grand oh it aint the roof or the doors
           Eb                      Ab 
If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure
        Eb                         Bb
Without love it aint nothin' but a house
                     Ab        Eb
A house where nobody lives
        Eb                         Bb
Without love it aint nothin' but a house
                     Ab        Eb   
A house where nobody lives..
