Oysterband - I Built This House (Previously Unreleased) chords
Start Jamming...
[F] [G] [F]
I paid my dues, my family holds the toll When the crash came they came with their hired
hands And they took it all
My anger knows no bounds, but I'll hold it deep inside
My love for this place stops my thirst as it starts to rise
I built [Bb] this house, the work of my own [F] two hands
Let the wind blow, [C] this house [F] will stand
My [Bb] home, the dream of a [F] working man Let the wind blow, [C] this house [F] will stand
New shadows cast their spell, the world looks different now
I work at a breathless pace, I keep my head but I don't know how
Great towers reach the sky, dwarf me in their shadow
Effigies and monuments that grow so high keep us low
I built [Bb] this house, the work of my [F] own two hands
Let the wind blow, this house will stand
I found [Bb] my home, the dream of a [F] working man
Let the wind blow, [C] this house [F] will stand
In [Bb]
[Dm] [C] [F]
[C] [Bb] my heart this hope [Gm] I swear, we [Dm] can heal, we can repair
[C] These hands we never meant to dress the wounds of millionaires
And [F] take back this house, with tears and laughter sound
We can build a life [C] together if [F] we stand our ground
I built [Bb] this house, the work of my [F] own two hands
Let the wind blow, this house will stand
I found [Bb] my home, the dream of a [F] working man
Let the wind blow, this house will stand
I [Bb]
[F]
built [Bb] this house, the work of my own [F] two hands
Let the wind blow, [C] this house will [F] stand
Let the wind blow, [C] this house will [F] stand
