Note: The song stays on a single chord throughout—Am (originally Cm).
The instruments carry the melody while the bass remains on Am (originally Cm) for the entire song.
Since there are no official guitar chords,
I created this optional chord progression to make it easier to play on guitar.

Verse
[Am]
You brought me here to build your house
[Am]
Build your house, build your house
[Am]
You brought me here to build your house
[Am]
And grow your garden fine
[Am]
I laid the brick and built your house
[Am] [Am]
Built your house, built your house
[Am]
I laid the brick and built your house
[Am]
Raised the plants so high
[Am]
And when you had the house and land
[Am] [Am]
The house and land, the house and land
[Am]
And when you had the house and land
[Am]
Then you told me, "go."
[Am]
I found a place to build my house
[Am]
Build my house, build my house
[Am]
I found a place to build my house
[Am]
Since I couldn't go back home
[Am]
You said I couldn't build a house
[Am] [Am]
Build a house, build a house
[Am]
You said I couldn't build a house
[Am]
So you burnt it down
[Am]
So then I traveled far and wide
[Am]
Far and wide, far and wide
[Am]
And then I traveled far and wide
[Am]
Until I found a home
[Am]
I learned your words and wrote a song
[Am]
Wrote a song, wrote a song
[Am]
I learned your words and wrote a song
[Am]
To put my story down
[Am]
But then you came and took my song
[Am]
Took my song, took my song
[Am]
But then you came and took my song
[Am]
Claimed it for your own
[Am]
I took my bucket, lowered it down
[Am]
Lowered it down, lowered it down
[Am]
I took my bucket, lowered it down
[Am]
The well will ne'er run dry
[Am]
You brought me here to build a house
[Am] [Am]
Build a house, build a house
[Am]
You brought me here to build a house
[Am]
I will not be moved
[Am]
No, I will not be moved
[Am]
No, I will not be, I will not be
[Am] [Am]
I will not be moved
