The Houseplants Song

• Em

Standard Tuning 

 Em                     G 
Once I read a book and this is what it said 
           A             Em 
"If your music has a beat the you're gunna wind up dead" 
    Em                            G 
It doesn't really matter if it's Christian or not 
         A                          Em 
If it's syncapted rhythm then your soul is gunna rot 
A                       Em 
And this book was called "HA You're gunna burn" 
A                        Em 
And in the second chapter I went on to learn 


Em       G               A             Em 
Take two houseplants and put em to the test 
        Em               G                    A            Em 
Set em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest 
    Em                 G                    A          Em 
The first on you play mozart or something lovely like that 
    Em                       G              A          Em 
The second one you play that Petra and that MegaDeth 
                                               Em 
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is 

      Em          G                     A           Em 
So I took my two houseplants and i put them to the test 
        Em              G                    A             Em 
Set em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest 
  Em             G            A             Em 
I powered up my Pioneers and let the music roar 
     Em             G               A             Em 
but twenty minutes later someones knocking at my door  

*Knock on the body of your guitar* 

Em                   G                          
  I opened up my door and there my neighbor stood 
         A                              Em   
He said "man I'd like to get some sleep if you think could" 
        Em           G 
I said "man cant you see here  
            A                         Em 
I have the moral dilema that i have gotta get clear" 
             Em                                        G 
And he said "what kind of moral dilema could you have this time of night 
           A                        Em 
That could make me so angry that I just wanna fight 

*load crash* "sorry" 
                         Em 
So i pointed to the page in that open book  
             A                         Em 
That had a picture of a potted plant and I said go have a look 

And he read 

Em       G               A             Em 
Take two houseplants and put em to the test 
        Em               G                    A            Em 
Set em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest 
    Em                 G                    A          Em 
The first on you play mozart or something lovely like that 
    Em                       G              A          Em 
The second one you play that Petra and that MegaDeth 
                                                
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is 


Solo 
I can't remember I'll add it soon, check back 

Em                          G                   
  First of all he said that Vogner that you're playin 
      A                              Em 
I've never heard of Petra and isn't MegaDeth all dead 
Em           G            A                   Em 
secondly emphatically he asked me what's the sense 
    Em                G                   A                        Em 
of hanging out with house plants when hey I live right across the fence 

And i thought to myself you know that's a good point 

      Em          G                A                   Em 
So i took my two houseplants and i put em both back outside 
    Em         G               A               Em 
And me and my neighbor well we went out for a drive 
    Em          G                     A            Em 
We talked about all the things that really matt er most 
      Em                G             A             Em   Em G A Em 
Like life and love and happiness and then the holy Ghost 

Em          G                A              Em 
Now my two houseplants both sit out in the sun 
    Em         G                 A                Em 
and As for my neighbor well our friendship has become 
   Em           G                 A                  Em 
a meaningful relationship that's headed straight to heaven 
    Em                     G                        A                
BUT AS FOR NOW we like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline 
  
   Em 
CRANKED! To eleven  Em Em Em Em Em Em Em Em
