 "The Old Apartment"
 BNL
 from "Barenaked Ladies Rock Spectacle"
 This song isn't much trouble, with the help of a piano playing 
 aquaintance we worked it up, and pretty much by ear and memory, here's 
 the extent of it.
 
 capo 3rd fret
 
 G       D          C            G
 broke into the old apartment
 G       D                C
 this is where we used to live
 G             D         C                                     G
 broken glass, broke and hungry, broken hearts and broken bones
 G       D                C
 this is where we used to live
 Em  D                 C
 why did you paint the walls?
 Em  D                 C
 why did you clean the floor?
 Em  D               C         D                     G
 why did you plaster over, the hole I punched in the door?
 G       D                C
 this is where we used to live
 Em  D                C
 why did you keep the mousetrap?
 C   D                G          
 why did you keep the dish rack? 
 G            D                  C                               D    
 *mute*
 these things used to be mine, I guess they still are I want 'em back
 
 G     D            C         G
 broke into the old apartment
 G     D                   C       G
 forty-two stairs from the street
 G       D                C                D                   G
 crooked landing, crooked landlord, narrow landway filled with crooks
 G       D                C
 this is where we used to live
 Em  D                 C
 why did they pave the lawn?
 Em  D                   C    
 why did they change the locks?
 G   D             C         D                   G       
 why did I have to break in? I only came here to talk
 G       D                C
 this is where we used to live
 G          D        C
 how is the neighbor downstairs?
 C   D             G
 how is her temper this year?
 G        D              C                             D
 I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
 
 (softly here, getting louder slowly after 2nd phrase, ending with hard 
 strums on "I'm happy there"
 
 Em D            G         C
 I know we don't live here anymore
 Em D             G            C
 we bought an old house on the danforth
 Em  D                G    D        C
 she loves me and her body keeps me warm
 C   D     G
 I'm happy there
 
 (normal volume now)
 
 G           D                C 
 but this is where we used to live
 
 G       D          C
 broke into the old apartment
 G        D                C
 tore the phone out of the wall
 G    D               C                              G
 only memories, faded memories blending into dull tableaux 
 G D         C              D                G
 i want them back.. this is where we used to live
 G D         C              D                G
 i want them back.. this is where we used to live
 G D         C
 i want them back..
 
 G <320003>
 C 
 D 
 Em <022000>
 
 
  This is my first tab put into here, I hope it works, and I hope you 
 enjoy it. On that last C chord, Ed does this thing going up a step kinda, 
 and I'm assuming he's putting 2 extra light strums in to put a voicing 
 with the 3rd fret on the 2nd string... I dunno, mess with it a little, 
 and you'll get it with little trouble. Also all of the first chords on 
 each phrase are hit a beat before the lyric comes in, not right on it. :)
  
 any questions, comments, critiques, not raging powetripping 
 complaints.... can be sent to djmccoll@catskill.net
 
  thanx again, Ben (Squeege)
