A House of Gold

Hank Williams

Key of C · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

C                 F         C
People steal they cheat and lie
                            G7
For wealth and what it will buy
               F                    C
But don't they know on the judgment day
              G7                 C
That Gold and Silver will melt a way

Verse 2

                        F    C
I'd rather be in a deep dark grave
                                  G7
And to know that my poor soul was saved
                     F                   C
Than to live in this world in a house of Gold
            G7              C
And deny my God and doom my soul

Verse 3

                  F          C
What good is Gold and Silver too
                             G7
If your heart's not pure and true
               F       C
Sinner hear me w-hen I say
                  G7        C
Fall down on your knees and pray

Verse 4

              F  C
My Jesus died on Calvary
                                     G7
He paid the cost that was charged to me
                  F            C
But if silver and gold I never own
              G7                     C
Thank God one day I'll have a golden home
