House Of Gold chords and lyrics - DRIFTING COWBOYS

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Hank grew up in a very poor
environment,
with little money or none,
and when we talk about these religious songs or songs
of a religious or meaningful nature,
then we go back into his very first writings
when he was very young himself,
and I think what he was trying
to to get across
was that these struggling,
many poor farm people,
rural people in the area he grew up in
were just as good as anybody else,
had just as good a chance,
both on earth and the hereafter,
as anyone else, maybe better.
[Em][A]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Some people steal, they [G]cheat and [D]lie
For wealth and what it will buy
But don't pray [G]it no more on
the judgment [D]day[A][D]
That gold and [Em]silver [A]will melt [D]away
I'd rather be in a [G]deep dark [D]grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this [G]world in a house of [D]gold
And deny my [Em]God an[A]d doom
my [D]soul[G][D]
[G][D][Em][A]
[D]
What good is gold and [G]silver [D]to you
[A]If [D]your heart's not pure and true, sinner,
[G]help me when I [D]say, Fall down [Em]on y[A]our knees and pr[D]ay
Fall down [Em]on y[A]our knees and pray
[D]
