[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

We can build a life [C] together if [F] we stand our ground
