House of Stone Lyrics

Chords:
G/F# 2x0003 C/B x2x010
C x32010 F#* 2x0200
my clumsy notation for the intro and instrumentals:
| separate the measures, * is a whole note, and - is a half note
(Intro) G G/F# Em C Cmaj7 G G/F# Em C C/B Am7 F#* G Fdim
It's a churchyard auction, a sight to see,
where the eyes are big, and the odds are lean.
The pockets all are empty, the chances all are gone,
but there's a free bet yet on a house of stone,
C - C/B - Am7 F#* G
mmm- mmm- mmm a house of stone.
Now some may sing sounds of hallelujah
and dream about a mansion of gold
but to each be true, and to each be known
My dreams all are resting on a house of stone,
C - C/B - Am7 F#* G
mmm- mmm- mmm a house of stone.
(Instr) G G/F# Em C Cmaj7 G G/F# Em C C/B Am7 F#* G Fdim
Say that devil's a sly one with many kind friends.
His riches are boundless, they know no end.
Down in the valley, the shadow's grown,
but in the light of Calvary, sits a house of stone,
C - C/B - Am7 F#* G
mmm- mmm- mmm a house of stone.
(Finale)
