House of Blue Light (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
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
But she goes where I want, now I wanna be
A7#9 D7#9 Db7#9
Where all the locals go to keep each other 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
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
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]
Well I've been around the world a dozen times or more
And I never really knew what I was searching for
'Til I came to this place on a midnight ride
I pulled next to a full dress Electra-Glide

They had a band playing blues from Mississippi

They had a bar that kept the customers in sight
They had some fine architecture and a view that will get you
You'll wanna spend the whole damn night

In the house of blue light

Yeah House of blue light

In the house of blue light

House of blue light
Yeah yeah yeah

[Outro] Repeat, guitar solo, fade...
