Patty Griffin - House Of Gold


CAPO: 3rd Fret


            
People steal, 

              
they cheat and

 
 lie
              
For wealth and

             
 what it will 


buy
             
Don't they kno

              
w, on judgemen

  
t day
              
Gold and silve

            
r will melt aw

ay


             
I'd rather be 

              
in a deep, dar

  
k grave
              
And know that 

             
my poor soul w

   
as saved
              
Than to live i

             
n this world i

             
n a house of g

old
              
And deny my go

             
d and doom my 


soul


INSTRUMENTAL:                        


              
What good is g

             
old and silver

 
 too
              
In your heart'

             
s not good and

 
 true
             
Sinner, hear m

         
e when I say
             
Fall down on y

              
our knees and 


pray


             
I'd rather be 

              
in a deep, dar

  
k grave
              
And know that

Than to live i
