He says, "I'm just a man, I work with my hands

 G        C          G   C
But lately no work has been around

  D                  G
I wish that I could put more on the table

  C      G         C        D
Provide the life I'm sure my family dreams about"

"But there's cracks in all the walls and all the windows

    C            D          G
And the flies, they find their way in through the screen

 C         D          G
I just pray that hope will go on living

 C       D/F#             G
In this house of a thousand dreams"

Gives all that he can

 G      C           G   C
I know he thinks he's let me down

    D          C         G
I just want him and the children to be happy

 C         G        C       D
It's not always easy, but it's all I dream about"

     C          D           G
"So I'll find some yard-sale curtains for the windows

     C         D        G
And I'll sew some yellow trim along the seams

   C         D          G
And I'll keep praying hope will go on living

 C       D/F#             G
In this house of a thousand dreams"

The boy says, "my daddy's a strong man

My momma, she loves him

And they love my brother and sister and me

   D          C         G
Sometimes at night we lay out in the backyard

 C        G      C          D
And take turns wishing on the first star we see"

In this house of a thousand dreams"
