[Verse]
G G - G/F# -
It's a churchyard auction, a sight to see,
Em
where the eyes are big, and the odds are lean.
C Cmaj7
The pockets all are empty, the chances all are gone,
G G - G/F# - Em
but there's a free bet yet on a house of stone,
C – C/B – Am7 F#* G
mmm- mmm- mmm a house of stone.
G G - G/F# -
Now some may sing sounds of hallelujah
Em
and dream about a mansion of gold
C Cmaj7
but to each be true, and to each be known
G G - G/F# - Em
My dreams all are resting on a house of stone,
C – C/B – Am7 F#* G
mmm- mmm- mmm a house of stone.

G G - G/F# -
Say that devil's a sly one with many kind friends.
Em
His riches are boundless, they know no end.
C Cmaj7
Down in the valley, the shadow's grown,
G G - G/F# - Em
but in the light high o'er Calvary, sits a house of stone,
C – C/B – Am7 F#* G
mmm- mmm- mmm a house of stone.
