[Intro]
G Am G Am
[Verse 1]
G Am Go first in the world, go forth with your fears C G Remember a price must be paid Am Be always too soon, be never too fast C D At the time when all bets must be laid G C Beware of the darkness, be kind to your children G Em D Remember the woman who waits
[Chorus]
G F C G And the house you live in will never fall down C G D G C If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate
[Verse 2]
G Am When you're caught by the gale and you're full under sail C G Beware of the dangers below Am And the song that you sing should not be too sad C D And be sure not to sing it too slow G C Be calm in the face of all common disgraces G Em D And know what they're doing it for
[Chorus]
G F C G And the house you live in will never fall down C G D G C G C If you pity the stranger who stands at your door
[Verse 3]
G Am When you're out on the road and feeling quite lost C G Consider the burden of fame Am And he who is wise will not criticize C D When other men fail at the game G C Beware of strange faces and dark dingy places G Em D Be careful while bending the law
[Chorus]
G F C G And the house you live in will never fall down C G D G C G C If you pity the stranger who stands at your door
[Verse 4]
G Am When you're down in the dumps and not ready to deal C G Decide what it is that you need Am Is it money or love, is it learning to live C D Or is it the mouth you must feed G C Be known as a man who will always be candid G Em D On questions that do not relate
[Chorus]
G F C G And the house you live in will never fall down C G D G Am If you pity the stranger who stands at the gate G F C G And the house you live in will never fall down C G D G C If you pity the stranger who stands at the gate
[Outro]
G F C G And the house you live in will never fall down C G D G C If you pity the stranger who stands at the gate
