A House of Gold

Written by Hank Wiliams Sr.

As Performed by Mike Ness

Mike ness tunes down to E flat and then plays with a capo on the second fret in almost 
song he plays. I do not know why, but to copy him I just play with a capo on the 1st fret.


            D (xx0232@1)    G (320003@1)      DPeople (xx0232@1)steal they cheat and lie

For wealth and what it will buy
               G (320003@1)                   DBut (xx0232@1)don't they know on the judgement day
              A (x02220@1)               DThat (xx0232@1)Gold and Silver will melt a way.

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

What good is Gold and Silver too
If your heart's not pure and true
Sinner hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray
