[Intro 1]
[Em][Bm][Em][Bm][G][Em][Bm][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]I pu[G]lled[Em] off at a rest stop[Bm]
[G]out [Em]on H[A]ighway 93
[Em]I'd been driving for so long
that I [Bm]could barely [D]see
[Bm]I was sl[Em]ipping off to sleep
in the [A]sunset so serene
[G]When [C]I w[Bm]oke up
to the most god -awful sound I'd ever seen
A [Em]diesel rig came ratt[Bm]ling i[G]n,
[Em]back[A]fired, coughed, and [Em]snorted
With stars and moons hand -painted on
[Bm]and dragons all contorted
It came sput[Em]tering to a [G]halt
with [Em]a hic[A]cup, belch, and sn[C]eeze
[G]Big [Bm]red letters said,
The House of Curiosities
The [Em]driver's door swung open
on a [A]sight so strange to [C]see
[Em]The tattoos on his arm
said he'd been [Bm]jailed or out to sea
[Em]He was long and gaunt,
it looked like [A]he was made of [Em]wire.[C]
Gray [Bm]hair all long and straggly,
and his eyes were all on fire.
He [Em]said, my name is Cecil,
I drive this diesel,
[Bm]I'm [Em]an entrepreneur,
but I [Bm]ain't no [B]weasel.
[Bm]The [Em]House of Curiosities
is the [A]name of the rig I ride.
For a [Bm]fee of one thin Lincoln,
you can take a look in
[Em]side[Bm][Em][Bm][G]
[Em]I guarantee I got so[G]me things
that [A]you ain't never seen
Cause I have [Em]been to [A]places,
boy, that you [Bm]ain't never been
[Em]I could tell you sto[Bm]ries,
[G]everything [A]has got a tale
Just remem[Bm]ber,
don't touch anything,
nothing is for sale
I got [Em]Robert Johnson's guitar,
[G]I g[A]ot Van Gogh's ear
I got Dylan [Em]Thomas' silver spoon,
[G]mad[Bm]e by Paul Revere
Got the [Em]Burning Man's badge,
[Bm]the laughing man's[A] funny bone
I got So[Bm]lomon's seal
and the philosopher's stone
I got the [Em]eye of the tiger,
[Bm]the swor[A]d of Musashi
A platinum -plated jack[Em]et
that was [Bm]wore by Liberace
I the [Em]Dead Sea Scroll[Bm]s,
I got the [A]golden egg,
I got Cap[Bm]tain Hook's hook,
and I got his peg leg,
I got the [Em]razor's edge,
I [Bm]got the [A]cat's meow,
I got the [Em]Chinaman's chance,
I got the [Bm]holy cow,
A [Em]recent acquisition,
[G]something [A]for your mind to jaw on,
[Bm]I got the Magna Carta,
guess you noticed it's been gone,
I got the [Em]monkey's paw,
[Bm]I got the holy[A] grail
I found the missing [Em]link
out of King [Bm]Arthur's chainmail
Crys[Em]tals, clocks and [Bm]coins
[Em]and [Bm]hooker[G]s,
[A]shrunken heads and guns
[Bm]It's not an obsession,
I'm doing it for fun
Cause you see I said,
[Em]my name is Cecil[Bm][Em]
I drive this diesel, I'm an entrepreneur
But I, [Bm]I ain't no weasel
[B]The Hou[Em]se of Curiosities[Bm]
[Em]is the n[A]ame of the rig I ride
For a [Bm]fee of one thin Lincoln,
you can take a [Em]look [Bm]inside
[Em]I fired up my engine
and I [A]shot on down the road
[Em]Didn't care to hang with Cecil
in [A]the [Bm]rig that he rode
Out on [Em]Alligator Alley,
[Bm]cock[G]eyed[A] headlights gainin' fast
[Em]The [G]Hous[Bm]e of Curiosities
went screamin' fast
And I heard him [Em]say, my name is Cecil,
I drive this diesel
I'm an entrepreneur,
but [Bm]no kind of[B] weasel
Ah, the [Em]House of Curiosities
is the [A]name of the rig I ride
For a [Bm]fee of one thin link
and you can take a look in[Em]side
[Em]Hey, hey, hey, hey
