["Punkhouse"]

Lead riff A

[C / D / G / G / C / D / G / D] x2 (with lead riff A)

[F# sl. G / F# sl. G / C# sl. D]

If you need a place to stay, welcome to the punkhouse

It's a party every night living in a punkhouse

Stay a while and sit and smoke a cigarette

Well la la la

There's always something happening when you're in the punkhouse

Take a leave and took a beer (???) are always in the punkhouse

Jump up and down, dance on the couch, stuff a potato in your mouth

Well la la

Life goes by way too fast to spend it working for somebody else

It don't make any sense

If you like it here why don't you stay?

Don't wanna work? Well that's okay

Cause no one else here wants to get a real job

[C / D / G / G / C / D / G / D] x2 (with lead riff A)

[F# sl. G / F# sl. G / C# sl. D]

Come on down, hang out with us, hang out at a punkhouse

Don't mind all the filth and grime and mud cause it's just a punkhouse

Steady stains on the walls and creepy insects in the halls

We'll have a ball

Young ones are poor and having fun and we're never growing up

Never growing up

[G / C / D] Repeat this progression till end, with lead riff B and "never

growing up"s.

Lead riff B

G C D (on rhytm guitar)
