CAPO I


INTRO: D

D                           A7        D                       
This house was built by the hand of a man

D                             G             D
Somewhere in the dark tonight 2 are beatin' fast
Bm                 D             A7
Lyin' still in the arms of love, waves of passion pass
     G                    D         D/F#      Bm                G
They love each other with all their might but can't help but be afraid
                       D               A                  D
Gotta got stand in the house of man to tell 'em that it's okay


CHORUS:
D                            G                 D
This house was built by man, I saw him mix the mortar
D                            A7
This house was built by man, I saw him tyin' steel
D                                 G            D
This house was built by man outta concrete and water
D                           A7        D
This house was built by the hand of a man


Somewhere in the dark tonight a new heart's beatin' fast
Lyin' still in the arms of love, tiny fingers grasp
That sweet little has heard not a word about original sin
As fast as you can to the house of man so Peter can let him on in


CHORUS


SOLO


Somewhere in the dark tonight an old heart's fadin' fast
These damned things they were meant to love they weren't meant to last
But now I'm dyin' but I spent my life tryin' to do the best I can
I'd only be fine if I spent enough time sittin' in the house of man


CHORUS

D                           A7        G      D
This house was built by the hand of a man
