[Intro] Dm  Am  Bb  F  C

               Dm           Am          
There's a place called the black house
        Bb                F           C
It's a place I go when my spirits are low 
           Dm       Am
I can taste in the black house
   Bb                       F       C
Forbidden fruit though it's evil I know

            Dm         Am          
All the people in the black house
        Bb                             F            C
I can see it in their eyes, there's no need to disguise
        Dm        Am  
My thirst in the black house
     Bb                     F         C
This whiskey is real and it makes me feel

       Dm            Am
Like heaven in the black house
        Bb                         F           C
All the women are angels, all the guys are swell
           Dm          Am
And the music in the black house
          Bb                 F            C
Oh it soothes my soul like a harp from hell

( Dm  Am  Bb  F  C )

        Dm         Am
The boss of the black house
         Bb                  F           C 
He's a tall skinny guy in a long black cape
           Dm           Am
And he smiles on the black house
          Bb                   F            C
With the skeletal grin of his white skull face

            Dm          Am
Raise my glass in the black house
         Bb
You can tell me that it's wrong
          F                 C
Too much whiskey, too much song
         Dm               Am
Kiss my ass, I'm in the black house
         Bb
This is where I belong
        F                 C
Give me whiskey, give me whiskey
             Dm         Am
All night long
                      Bb
Give whisky all night long
        F                 C
Give me whiskey, give me whiskey
             Dm
All night long
         Am                
Give me streams of whiskey 
            Bb  F  C  Dm
All night long
