A HOUSE OF GOLD

People [D] steal, they [G] cheat and [D] lie
For wealth and what it will buy ...[D7] 
But don't they [G] know on the Judgement [D] Day
That Gold and [A7] silver will melt a-[D] way.

CHORUS:
I'd rather be in a [G] deep dark [D] grave
And know that my poor soul was saved ...[D7] 
Than to live in this [G] world in a House Of [D] Gold
And deny my [A7] God and doom my [D] soul.

What good is Gold and silver, too
If your heart's not good and true
Sinner hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray. For;

CHORUS
