By the side of the road

     G                  C              G           
Now people who would rather live in splendor
                 C              D7
Brag about their silver and their gold
    G             C            G
People who would trade God's promise
         C           D7
For its treasure to hold
     G                     C          G
Now people who would rather live in mansions
           C                 D7
People who would rather live abroad
      G              C           G
But I'd rather have alittle log cabin
        C      D7   G
By the side of the road



    I'd rather live by the side of the road
    And try to point sould to the heavenly cross
    Than to be a king or millionaire
    And live in mansions and bright array
    I'd rather do my neighborly deed
    Or help some traveler or a friend in need
    I'd rather live by the side of the road
    And help some pilgrim along life's way



I'd rather have a cabin by the roadside
Where the pilgrim along life's way
Help to point souls to Jesus to that city on high
Every day I want to help scatter roses
Every night I want my light to shine abroad
With a welcome from my little bay wind
By the side of the road

Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of:  E



  E                         A              E
There are people who would rather live in splendor
                                B
And brag about their silver and gold,

    E             A             E
People who would trade God's promise

Now people who would rather live in mansions
                            B
People who would rather live abroad
         E                  A

Help to point souls to Jesus to that city on high
Every day I want to help scatter roses
Every night I want my light to shine abroad
With a welcome from my little bay window
By the side of the road
