House Of Gold chords by Patty Griffin

Patty Griffin - House Of Gold


CAPO: 3rd Fret


       A     D               A
People steal, they cheat and lie
                   D        A
For wealth and what it will buy
           D                  A
Don't they know, on judgement day
               E           A
Gold and silver will melt away

             D                A
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave
                D              A
And know that my poor soul was saved
                     D                   A
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
               E            A
And deny my god and doom my soul


INSTRUMENTAL: D  A    D  A    D  A    D     A


                 D           A
What good is gold and silver too
               D             A
In your heart's not good and true
        D              A
Sinner, hear me when I say
            E               A
Fall down on your knees and pray


             D                A
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave
                D              A
And know that my poor soul was saved
                     D                   A
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
               E            A
And deny my god and doom my soul
