  			C 
The house my family lives in just down the block 

F 
Many times I passed there but I never stopped 

C                                 G7 
I go on all alone wishing I could be 

C             F              G7          C 
In that house down the block with my family 



When we meet upon the street I just bow my head 

F 
They don't know how often I wish that I was dead 

C                                                   G7 
To our name I brought the shame but still I long to be 

C             F              G7          C 
In that house down the block with my family 



When Gabriel blows his trumpet and time will be no more 

F 
Then memories fade my daddy's faith I'll walk up to the door 

C                                                          G7 
The tears that fall won't start at all and God will let me be 

C             F              G7          C 
In that house down the block with my family
