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.

Intro

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
