A Cabin In The Hills Lyrics & Chords

By Merle Haggard

I dreamed I saw Jesus last night 

Seated on a mountain in the moonlight

His hands held a key to a cabin 

That cabin I'd dreamed of all my life



Money makes the (A)rules we have to  (D)live by

A (G)home is just a place they send the  (D)bills

(G)God knows why we work and what we  (D)pray for

So He's building me a (A)cabin in the  (D)hills



Who knows He might be (A)finished in the  (D)morning

So I (G)lie awake and take no sleeping  (D)pills

(G)God knows I'm not happy in a  (D)mansion

So He's building me a (A)cabin in the  (D)hills



I (G)live my lonesome life down in a  (D)valley 

With the (A)factories the rivers and the  (D)mills

(G)Sometimes I can almost hear His  (D)hammer 

Cause He's building me a (A)cabin in the  (D)hills 



Someone has to (A)keep the home fire  (D)burning

So I (G)sweat and get the harvest in the (A)field 

(G)Life on earth won't be the same here (D)after

So He's building me a (A)cabin in the  (D)hills
