Barenaked Ladies

The Old Apartment

"Barenaked Ladies Rock Spectacle"
The Old Apartment

! 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?
! *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
> C
> D
> Em

! 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
