House Of Gold

Hank Williams

Key of D · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

       D
People steal they cheat and lie
    D
For wealth and what it will buy
          G            D
But don’t they know on judgement day
              A                D
That gold and silver will melt away

Verse 2

    D
I’d rather be in a dark grave
    D
And to know that my poor soul was saved
                     G                D
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
            A            D
And deny my God and doom my soul

Verse 3

What good is gold and silver too
If your hearts not pure and true
       G            D
Sinner hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray
