House Of Blue Light Chords

(ver. 1)
Billy Joel
[Intro]
Gm7 C7 | Gm7 C7 | Gm7 C7 | Gm7 C7 |
Gm7 C7 | Gm7 C7 | Gm7 C7 | Gm7 D7#9 |
 
[Verse 1]
N.C.       Gm7        C7          Gm7      C7
Well I'm drivin' on down to the surfside bar
              A7#9                    D7#9      C7
These days my old shovelhead she don't    travel far
        Gm7           C7         Gm7   C7
But she goes where I want, now I wanna be
               A7#9                      D7#9      Db7#9
Where all the locals go to keep eachother     company
          C7
They all drive Chevy pickups in the morning
         A7
Then all ride Harley Davidsons at night
         C7
They all work for somebody who makes all the money
     A7                           D7#9
And pays them just enough to get tight
N.C.                   Gm7   C7   Gm7
In the house of blue light
C7               Gm7    C7    Gm7 D7#9
House of blue light
 
[Verse 2]
N.C.      Gm7        C7             Gm7    C7
Well I'm driving on down to meet a woman there
            A7#9                    D7#9         C7
She got the long legs, the red lips, the golden hair
          Gm7          C7           Gm7       C7
She knows just what to do to make a man feel good
           A7#9                         D7#9         Db7#9
She's the hardest workin' woman in this      neighborhood
           C7
She don't mind makin' breakfast in the morning
           A7
She don't mind makin' love every night
            C7
She said, "Come see me honey, and bring lots of money
       A7                       D7#9   N.C.                   Gm7   C7   Gm7
'Cause we know how to treat you right, in the house of blue light"
C7              Gm7   C7   Gm7
House of blue light
C7              Gm7   C7   Gm7
House of blue light
C7              Gm7   C7 Gm7 N.C.
House of blue light
 
[Bridge]
C7 Gb7 F7
         You know this life is filled with grief
Ab7
   Sometimes it gets you so down
F7
   You got to find yourself some relief
A7#9                        D   Eb E  F  F# Gm7         C7
   And there's a roadhouse right   outside     of town
Gm7        C7         Gm7
   Roadhouse, blue light
 
[Interlude]
| Gm7  C7 | Gm7  C7 | Gm7  C7 | Gm7  C7 | Gm7  C7 | Gm7 D7#9 |
 
[Verse 3]
N.C.      Gm7               C7           Gm7      C7
Well I've been around the world a dozen times or more
       A7#9                    D7#9          C7
And I never really knew what I was searching for
        Gm7           C7       Gm7      C7
'Til I came to this place on a midnight ride
         A7#9                 D7#9        Db7#9
I pulled next to a full dress      Electra-Glide
           C7
They had a band playing blues from Mississippi
           A7
They had a bar that kept the customers in sight
               C7
They had some fine architecture and a view that will get you
        A7                         D7#9
You'll wanna spend the whole damn night
N.C.                       Gm7
In the house of blue light
Gm7
Yeah
C7             Gm7   C7  Gm7
House of blue light
        C7            Gm7   C7  Gm7
In the house of blue light
C7             Gm7
House of blue light
C7      Gm7     C7
   Yeah yeah yeah
