Standard tuning, no capo.
I'll try to make this as easy to read as it can be. The whole song is kind
of the same, there's just a few changes. Enjoy!
INTRO
e|-------|
B|--8----|
G|--9----| Stroke like a chord but start from the
D|--9----| G (8th fret on the B string).
A|--7----|
E|-------|
Then play this:
e|---------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------8-| Stroke the chord the other
G|-------------------------------9-| way this time (start with the
D|--5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5--9-| E, 7th fret on the A string)
A|-7---7-7-7---7-5-5---5-5-5-----7-|
E|---------------------------------|
This is also the main part of the song. You play it over and over again during the vers.
REFRAIN (chords):
C D C
But all I said was I’ve been down on this street before
C D C
I’ve been running around trying to break in doors
C D C
Oh, I never thought a fear would grow so fast
C D E
And I never thought, I never thought it would last
VERSE 2
This verse does not begin like the first one. This one jumps into the
middle of the melody. Like this:
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------8-|
G|-------------------------------------------------9-|
D|----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5--9-|
A|-5-5---5-5-5---5-7-7---7-7-7---7-5-5---5-5-5-----7-|
E|---------------------------------------------------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/johnossi/houses_tab.html ]
e|---------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------8-|
G|-------------------------------9-|
D|--5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5--9-| (this one is played 2 times)
A|-7---7-7-7---7-5-5---5-5-5-----7-|
E|---------------------------------|
Refrain again, it’s played the same as the last one but there's different lyrics. Stay
on the last E chord and play it until the solo begins.
SOLO
e|----8-------8-7------------------------8----8-7------------|
B|----------------5-----------8-8-10-------------------------|
G|------------------5-5--5-5----------------------5-5--5-5---|
D|-7-7----7-7-------------------------7-7--7-7---------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
e|------8---12-12-----8----12--------------------------------|

G|-----------------------------------------------------------| This part is played
D|-----------------------------------------------------------| two times.
A|-8-8-------------8-8---------------------------------------|

End on a E.
OUTRO/VERSE 3
Verse 3 is like verse two without the chord.
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----|
A|-5-5---5-5-5---5-7-7---7-7-7---7-5-5---5-5-5----7-7-|
E|----------------------------------------------------|
e|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------|
D|--5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----5-5-----|
A|-7---7-7-7---7-5-5---5-5-5----7-7-|
E|----------------------------------|
Play that pattern until the end.
