Warren William Zevon, cantautor estadounidense de ascendencia judía, nacido en Chicago, Illinois el 24 de enero 1947 y fallecido en Los Ángeles, California el 7 de septiembre 2004. Su particular punto de vista sobre la vida le hizo dar a sus canciones un tono oscuro y sórdido.
Tuvo una vida llena de altibajos, con constantes problemas en su vida personal (divorcios, alcoholismo, intentos de suicidio...) que se complementaban con un gran reconocimiento entre sus compañeros de profesión entre los que destacaban Bob Dylan

Intro : Bb
Bb I had the shit till it all got smoked Cm I kept the promise till the vow got broke Cm I had to drink from the lovin' cup Bb I stood on the banks till the river rose up Eb I saw the bride in her wedding gown GmFBb I was in the house when the house burned down
I may be old and I may be bent But I had the money till it all got spent I had the money till they made me pay Then I had the sense to be on my way I had to stay in the underground I was in the house when the house burned down
Eb I was in the house when the house burned down Gm I met the man with the thorny crown F I helped Him carry his cross through town GmFBb I was in the house when the house burned down
I was in the house when the house burned down I met the man with the thorny crown I helped Him carry his cross through town I was in the house when the house burned down
I had the shit till it all got smoked I kept the promise till the vow got broke I had to drink from the lovin' cup I stood on the banks till the river rose up I saw the bride in her wedding gown I was in the house when the house burned down
