Chords for Gordon Lightfoot - The House You Live In

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
All right, thank you very much.
That's a favorite of ours, and we will take [A] the 12th string
and try a couple of those for you.
Here's a song from the Summertime Dream album
called The House You Live In.
One, two, three, four, five, six. _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ [A] The first in the [Bm] world, oh, for [D] the new-given
And the repose [A] must be paid
Be honest to [Bm] son, be heavy to [D] cares
At the time when old pets [E] must be laid
[A] Beware [D] of the darkness, be kind [A] to your children
[F#m] Remember the woman [E] who [A] waits
And the [G] house you live [D] in will never [A] fall [D] down
If you [A] believe the stranger [A] stands at your gates
[Bm] _
[A] When you're caught by the [Bm] gale and you're falling to [D] sail
Beware of the [A] dangers below
And the song that you [Bm] sing should not be too [D] sad
And be sure not to sing [E] it too [A] slow
Be kind in the face [D] of all common displaces
[A] And know [F#m] what they're [E] doing it [A] for
And the [G] house you live [D] in will never [A] fall [D] down
If you believe [A] the stranger [A] stands at your door
[Bm] _ [A] When _ [Bm] _
[A] you're down in the dumps and [Bm] not ready to [D] deal
Just ask whatever it is [A] that you need
Is it money or [Bm] love, is it learning to [D] live
Or is [E] it the mouth you must feed
[A] Be known [D] as the man who will [A] always be candid
[F#m] On questions [E] that do not relate
[A] And [G] the [D] house you live in will never [D] fall down
If you believe [E] the stranger [A] stands at your gates
[Bm] _ _ [A] And the [G] house you live [D] in will never [A] fall [D] down
If you [E] believe the stranger stands [A] at your gates _ _ _ _
