G 
An old log house and it half-built 

  C             G 
A home made bed just one old quilt 

  C    G7         C          G 
A Holy Bible that ma left to me 

D7 
Makes me as rich as rich can be 


G 
My friends have gold yet they are sad 

C                 G 
They own the best that can be had 

C       G7        C           G 
While I just live from day to day 

D7                          G 
I know the Lord will make a way 



My corn crib's filled with nothing but cobs 

C                        G 
Cause corn won't grow on these poor knobs 

C             G7          C          G 
The sun's too hot and the rain won't fall 

D7 
There's a cloud in the sky but it's too small 


G 
My housetop leaks and I get damp 

C                      G 
Here on this earth I'm called a tramp 

    C     G7        C       G 
But I can smile and feel so proud 

D7                          G 
I know my home's beyond the clouds 



My old hound dog is growing thin 

     C          G 
Like me he only has two friends 

    C    G7      C       G 
I'm sure that if we only knew 

D7 
He longs for heaven like me and you 


G 
My shoes are thin my feet get cold 

C                  G 
But I trudge on to make my goal 

    C     G7        C       G 
For I can smile and feel so proud 

D7                          G 
I know my home's beyond the clouds 


C         G      D7         G 
I know my home's beyond the clouds
