[Intro ]Dm Am Bb F C
Dm Am
There's a place called the black house
Bb F C
It's a place I go when my spirits are low
Dm Am
I can taste in the black house
Bb F C
Forbidden fruit though it's evil I know
Dm Am
All the people in the black house
Bb F C
I can see it in their eyes, there's no need to disguise
Dm Am
My thirst in the black house
Bb F C
This whiskey is real and it makes me feel
Dm Am
Like heaven in the black house
Bb F C
All the women are angels, all the guys are swell
Dm Am
And the music in the black house
Bb F C
Oh it soothes my soul like a harp from hell
( Dm Am Bb F C )
Dm Am
The boss of the black house
Bb F C
He's a tall skinny guy in a long black cape
Dm Am
And he smiles on the black house
Bb F C
With the skeletal grin of his white skull face
Dm Am
Raise my glass in the black house
Bb
You can tell me that it's wrong
F C
Too much whiskey, too much song
Dm Am
Kiss my ass, I'm in the black house
Bb
This is where I belong
F C
Give me whiskey, give me whiskey
Dm Am
All night long
Bb
Give whisky all night long
F C
Give me whiskey, give me whiskey
Dm
All night long
Am
Give me streams of whiskey
Bb F C Dm
All night long
