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.
FMan had need of shelter from the Fevil from the nFight
FThe devil wind was blowin' and from hD7eaven came a lGight
FThe Son of God, a carpenter, and he Fcame with a plFan
FTo build a house where heaven could beG offered unto Fman
Chorus:
FWhen he came here he layed down a Fmighty firm foundation
FAnd the columns and the beams were churchesF scattered through the nation
FThen rooms were added to it on thatF same old solid rock
D7Then roofs were raised by willing hands from the Gbottom to the top
FThen people came and filled the house with Fsingin' prayer and praise
FSome turned and rejected, his house Ffell on leaner days
FSon of God, o carpenter, willF you come back around
FThe blocks and beams are crumbling and the Ghouse is falling dFown.
FNow the wind is raging and the Fdevil's angry rFoar
FIs screamin' at the windows and D7howlin' at the dGoor
FAnd thought the faithful few inside are Fstanding true and strFong
FThe house has been neglected and Git won't be standing lFong
(Chorus)
FSon of God, o carpenter, willF you come back around
FOur Blocks and beams are crumbling and the Ghouse is falling dFown.
