A Cabin In The Hills

[MajestyJo]

A Cabin In The Hills
Written and recorded by Merle Haggard

1st verse spoken:

F
I dreamed I saw Jesus last night
C
Seated on a mountain in the moonlight
F C
His hands held a key to a cabin
G7 C
That cabin I'd dreamed of all my life

G7 C
Money makes the rules we have to live by
F C
A home is just a place they send the bills
F C
God knows why we work and what we pray for
G7 C
So He's building me a cabin in the hills

G7 C
Who knows He might be finished in the morning
F C
So I lie awake and take no sleeping pills
F C
God knows I'm not happy in a mansion
G7 C
So He's building me a cabin in the hills

F C
I live my lonesome life down in a valley
G7 C
With the factories the rivers and the mills
F C
Sometimes I can almost hear His hammer
G7 C
Cause He's building me a cabin in the hills

G7 C
Someone has to keep the home fire burning
F C
So I sweat and get the harvest in the field
F C
Life on earth won't be the same hereafter
G7 C
So He's building me a cabin in the hills

Repeat #4

G7 C
He's building me a cabin in the hills

Merle Haggard
