Tune Down 1/2 step. It also helps to use .013 strings, A vintage Fender

Strat in the neck pickup through a Fender or Marshall amp (if using a

Marshall, change the EL34 tubes to 6550's). You may wanna throw in an

tube screamer too.

CHORUS:

B

Well The house is a rockin don't bother knockin

B

Well The house is a rockin don't bother knockin

F# B F#

Well the house is a rockin don't bother come on in

VERSE 1

B

Kick off your your shoes start losing the blues

B

This old house old house ain't got nothing to lose

E B

F# B

We got room on the floor come on baby shake em loose

REPEAT CHORUS; PIANO & GUITAR SOLO; CHORUS AGAIN;

Walkin up the street you can hear the sound

Of some bad honky tonkers really laying it down

so get out on the floor shimmy 'til you shak-em loose

REPEAT CHORUS; THEN SING:

F# B G9 F#9

I said the House is rockin' don't bother come on in
