This is an old revision of the document!
This is a very rough tab, but I figured a song this good deserved at least this.
The riff is something like this:
E -2——-2——–3–
B -3-2-0-0–3-0-1-1–0-
G -2——————-
D -0——————-
A -0——————-
E ———————
D C D G
Come and stay with me as long as you like
D G C
I live outside of town where the straight highway curves
D C G
For three years I lived next door to the airport
D G A
So nothing you can say to me can get on my nerves
Bm A D G
Stay 'til you can feel your legs underneath you again
G C D
I've got room in my house for you
D C G
I got a Kenmore single room window unit air conditioner
D G C
Cools down the place in the full heat of day
D C G
A family of possums has made their home underneath the front steps
D G A
They are magestic in their own beady-eyed, homely way
Bm A D G
Stay 'til you can breathe like normal people do
G C D
I've got room in my house for you
Dm A G D
They tore down the airport in nineteen eighty one
D C G A
This is where I came when I ran out of places to run
D C G
Come, come, come and stay with me out here away from things
D G A
Come and stay with me where the sky's real clear
D C G
I live way out where no one believes anybody could live
D C G
The sky's purple from six in the evening to midnight out here
Bm A D G
Stay 'til the world goes down in flames
G C D
I've got room, room in my house for you
