 C                 G           F           C
Mama lies on the couch in her old wedding gown
 C               G                F                C
She turned pale long before the carnival had left town
 C                 G                   F          C
She stares at the front porch on the outlook for dad
  C                G                          F              C
"Don't worry, I'll be back in a week" is the last thing he said
 C                G            F         C
We all knew he gambled in the city and lost
C                G                    F              C
Money we didn't have must've be the line that he crossed
 C                G      F           C
It's been over a year instead of a week
  C           G         F   G        C
Here in our house, our house by the creek

C          G           F       C
Me and my family live in the Netherlands
 C                    G     F              C
In the house that he build with his bare hands
 C                   G       F        C
My younger brother Jimmy is playing outside
C                    G             F               C
With his cap gun he tries to shoot planes from the sky
 C                   G           F     C    
In his chair by the window sits uncle Fred
                          G                 F            C
Since he's back from the war there ain't a word he has said
                 G             F            C
And Freckles my sister as she passed away sir
                 G          F                        C
Sometimes in my dreams I catch up with dad and with her
            G            F           C
What we end up with is not what we seek
  C            G        F    G        C
Here in our house, our house by the creek


C            G          F           C
My name is Louis, it's Louis, all right
                   G            F           C
I play dad's old accordion all day and all night
               G              F       C
I just turned eleven, so I'm still a kid
              G                F                C
But when I grow up I wanna find out what daddy did
C            G             F             C
Mister believe me, I was thought not to cry
                             G          F                   C
And that family should stay together 'till the day that you die
C             G                   F               C
Yeah mister believe me, I was thought boys don't cry
                                G           F               C
And that the town where you're born is the town where youll die
C                           G                   F        C
That the town where you're born is where youll probably die

C                   G              F          C
What did God wanna show when He created man weak
           G               F  G           C
We don't understand in our house by the creek
