Title: The House Is Falling Down

Johnny Cash sang alot in the key of Bb, and this song is no exception, so if you want to
along with the CD put your capo on the 3rd fret.
GMan had need of shelter from the Cevil from the nGight
GThe devil wind was blowin' and from hA7eaven came a lDight
CThe Son of God, a carpenter, and he Gcame with a plCan
GTo build a house where heaven could beD offered unto Gman
Chorus:
CWhen he came here he layed down a Gmighty firm foundation
CAnd the columns and the beams were churchesG scattered through the nation
CThen rooms were added to it on thatG same old solid rock
A7Then roofs were raised by willing hands from the Dbottom to the top
CThen people came and filled the house with Gsingin' prayer and praise
CSome turned and rejected, his house Gfell on leaner days
GSon of God, o carpenter, willC you come back around
GThe blocks and beams are crumbling and the Dhouse is falling dGown.
GNow the wind is raging and the Cdevil's angry rGoar
GIs screamin' at the windows and A7howlin' at the dDoor
CAnd thought the faithful few inside are Gstanding true and strCong
GThe house has been neglected and Dit won't be standing lGong
(Chorus)
GSon of God, o carpenter, willC you come back around
GOur Blocks and beams are crumbling and the Dhouse is falling dGown.
