FI dreamed I saw Jesus last night
CSeated on a mountain in the moonlight
His Fhands held a key to a Ccabin 
That G7cabin I'd dreamed of all my Clife
Money makes the G7rules we have to Clive by
A Fhome is just a place they send the Cbills
FGod knows why we work and what we Cpray for
So He's building me a G7cabin in the Chills
Who knows He might be G7finished in the Cmorning
So I Flie awake and take no sleeping Cpills
FGod knows I'm not happy in a Cmansion
So He's building me a G7cabin in the Chills
I Flive my lonesome life down in a Cvalley
With the G7factories the rivers and the Cmills
FSometimes I can almost hear His Chammer 
Cause He's building me a G7cabin in the Chills 
Someone has to G7keep the home fire Cburning
So I Fsweat and get the harvest in the Cfield 
FLife on earth won't be the same hereCafter
So He's building me a G7cabin in the Chills
I Flive my lonesome life down in a Cvalley
With the G7factories the rivers and the Cmills
FSometimes I can almost hear His Chammer
Cause He's building me a G7cabin in the Chills
He's building me a G7cabin in the Chills

Lyrics & chords · Original key

Chords in this song · guitar

I dreamed I saw Jesus last night

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

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

He's building me a cabin in the hills
