Soul In The House copyright 2013 Stan Lyness 4/4 125 B for me INTRO (1 5) 1 Ten years ago November our band got together, 1 4 and we ain't been together since. 1 5 But we're still here playin' each Monday and beggin' 1 4 for a few more lucrative gigs. (1 5 ) 1 We know lots of songs, 6m 6m country rocking songs, 3 3 but forgot what they're about. (4 2m)(5 57) We need to hear ourselves in the monitor 1 4 and put more soul in the house. (1 5 ) 1 Now Ron's out hittin' on any women Ron 1 4 ain't been hittin' on yet. 1 5 He always chased skirts but it just got worse 1 4 when his third wife up an' left. (1 5 ) 1 If he did the math, 6m 6m he could be their dad, 3 3 and he'd hear how sad it sounds (4 2m)(5 57) if he could hear his lines in the monitor, 1 4 and bare his soul to the house. (1 5 ) 1 Now Carol's at microphone, beltin' out money notes, 1 4 bringin' in drinkin' fans. 1 5 She's stretchin' her solos, 'cause when it's all over,1 4 she goes home to a lyin' man. (1 5 ) 1 An' with everything else, 6m 6m if she can't hear herself, 3 3 our so-called singer just shouts. (4 2m)(5 57) So put more of her in the monitor, 1 4 and put more soul in the house. (1 5 ) 1 17 Bridge: Play'n rock an' roll for thirty years 5 5 sure took a toll on Wally's ears. 1 1 He cranks his amp til he feels it all 2 2 and drives our fans back to the wall. 5 5 57 57 Now, Stu, he's a lawyer, he can sue someone for you 1 4 if they try to rip you off. 1 5 Carol's in sales, and Ron sorts mail, 1 4 but Wally, this is all he's got. (1 5 ) 1 But up here we are 6m 6m struttin' country stars 3 3 livin' high as our split allows (4 2m) 5 - that's two drink tickets and a cheap joint - 57 57 Oughta keep those comments in the monitor; 1 4 can't afford to be insulting the house. (1 5 ) 6m 6m We got thoughtful songs; 6m 6m even gospel songs 3 3 but forgot what they're about. (4 2m) 5 Not hearing the bass, 6m 6m and deaf to God's grace, 3 3 we just can't hear our way out. (4 2 ) 5 So can we get more bottom in the monitor 1 4 and a lot more soul in the house, (1 5 ) 6m a lot more soul in the house. (1 5 ) 4__4 1__1> - for the bands
