Come On Up To The House Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Tom Waits
I'm not sure if this is right, but it sounds a bit more accurate than other tabs I've seen.
This song is in D# originally I believe. I normally play it in "C" with capo on third (aka D#)

C Am F C C G C


         C       Am
Well the moon is broken
        F      C
And the sky is cracked
C       Am        G
Come on up to the house
         C                   Am
The only things that you can see
   F            C
Is all that you lack
C       G         C
Come on up to the house


C        Am   
All your cryin 
      F     C
don't do no good
C       Am        G
Come on up to the house
     C            Am
Come down off the cross
       F       C
We can use the wood
          C       G         C
You gotta come on up to the house


CHORUS
C
Come on up to the house
        Am          G
Come on up to the house
             C      Am
The world is not my home
           F       C
I'm just a passin' thru
C       G         C
Come on up to the house
C

           C            Am
There's no light in the tunnel 
   F            C
No irons in the fire
C       Am        G
Come on up to the house
         C           Am
And your singin lead soprano
     F         C
In a junkman's choir
          C       G         C
You gotta come on up to the house


     C         Am
Does life seem nasty,
F           C 
brutish and short
C       Am        G
Come on up to the house
             C      Am
The seas are stormy 
              F       C
And you can't find no port
       C       G         C
Got to come on up to the house


CHORUS
          C
You gotta come on up to the house
        Am        G
Come on up to the house
             C      Am
The world is not my home
           F       C
I'm just a passin' thru
C       G         C
Come on up to the house


C Am F C C C Am Am C Am F C C G C


CHORUS
          C
You gotta come on up to the house
        Am        G
Come on up to the house
             C      Am
The world is not my home
           F       C
I'm just a passin' thru
           C       G         C
You got to come on up to the house

        C             Am
There's nothin in the world 
     F       C
That you can do
          C       Am        G 
You gotta come on up to the house
             C              Am
And you been whipped by the forces
         F      C
That are inside you
      C       G         C
Gotta come on up to the house
            C       Am
Well you're high on top
        F           C
Of your mountain of woe
      C       Am        G
Gotta come on up to the house
         C                  Am
Well you know you should surrender
        F            C
But you can't let it go
          C       G         C 
You gotta come on up to the house

CHORUS
      C
Gotta come on up to the house
              Am        G
Gotta Come on up to the house
             C      Am
The world is not my home
           F       C
I'm just a passin' thru
          C       G         C
You gotta come on up to the house
          C       G         C
You gotta come on up to the house
          C       G         F
You gotta come on up to the house
        C
