He says, "I'm just a man, I work with my hands

G             C                 G    C
But lately no work has been around

  D                                 G
I wish that I could put more on the table

  C         G                C              D
Provide the life I'm sure my family dreams about"

            C                  D                G
"But there's cracks in all the walls and all the windows

       C                      D                  G
And the flies, they find their way in through the screen

C               D                 G
I just pray that hope will go on living

C            D/F#                    G
In this house of a thousand dreams"

         G                C
She says, "my husband's a good man

G              C
Gives all that he can

G          C                    G   C
I know he thinks he's let me down

      D                 C               G
I just want him and the children to be happy

C               G              C            D
It's not always easy, but it's all I dream about"

         C                  D                   G
"So I'll find some yard-sale curtains for the windows

         C                D             G
And I'll sew some yellow trim along the seams

    C                D                 G
And I'll keep praying hope will go on living

C            D/F#                     G
In this house of a thousand dreams"

             G              C
The boy says, "my daddy's a strong man

G             C
My momma, she loves him

G                C                      G
And they love my brother and sister and me

    D                 C                G
Sometimes at night we lay out in the backyard

C              G          C                  D
And take turns wishing on the first star we see"

         C               D                 G
"And the crickets always sing outside the windows

      C               D                     G
And I love to feel the wind blow through the screen

    C                D           G
And I sure hope that we can live forever

C            D/F#                  G
In this house of a thousand dreams"

      C                D              G
"Yeah I sure hope that we can live forever

C             D/F#                 G
In this house of a thousand dreams"
