Intro
G   Am   G   Am

Verse 1
   G                      Am
Go first in the world, go forth with your fears
  C                      G
Remember a price must be paid
                       Am
Be always too soon, be never too fast
       C                          D
At the time when all bets must be laid
  G                        C
Beware of the darkness, be kind to your children
  G          Em        D
Remember the woman who waits

Chorus
        G         F            C          G
And the house you live in will never fall down
       C        G            D              G      C
If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate

Verse 2
            G                             Am
When you're caught by the gale and you're full under sail
  C                     G
Beware of the dangers below
                                  Am
And the song that you sing should not be too sad
       C                       D
And be sure not to sing it too slow
   G                       C
Be calm in the face of all common disgraces
    G                 Em       D
And know what they're doing it for

Chorus
        G         F            C          G
And the house you live in will never fall down
       C        G            D              G      C   G   C
If you pity the stranger who stands at your door

Verse 3
            G                   Am
When you're out on the road and feeling quite lost
   C                   G
Consider the burden of fame
                        Am
And he who is wise will not criticize
     C                     D
When other men fail at the game
  G                         C
Beware of strange faces and dark dingy places
   G             Em          D
Be careful while bending the law

Chorus
        G         F            C          G
And the house you live in will never fall down
       C        G            D              G      C   G   C
If you pity the stranger who stands at your door

Verse 4
            G                         Am
When you're down in the dumps and not ready to deal
  C                        G
Decide what it is that you need
                           Am
Is it money or love, is it learning to live
   C                        D
Or is it the mouth you must feed
   G                       C
Be known as a man who will always be candid
   G              Em       D
On questions that do not relate

Chorus
        G         F            C          G
And the house you live in will never fall down
       C        G            D             G      Am
If you pity the stranger who stands at the gate
        G         F            C          G
And the house you live in will never fall down
       C        G            D             G    C  
If you pity the stranger who stands at the gate

Outro
        G         F            C          G
And the house you live in will never fall down
       C        G            D             G    C  
If you pity the stranger who stands at the gate
