[Intro]
G C G C D x2
[Verse]
G
When you think I'm doing nothing
C
And you feel up for a fight
G
It's me you should be trusting
C D
'Cause you know I'll get it right
[Verse]
G
Won't you listen to my story
C
How the Devil took my hand
G
And led me to a bench and vise
C D
Where I made my stand
[Chorus]
D
I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
C D
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
D
I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
C D
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
[Instrumental]
G C G C D x2
[Verse]
G
Well, I could have been a builder
C
With muscles for a heart
G
I'm making straight lines for you
C D
Or digging turf and sod
[Verse]
G
Just look at that musician
C
How soft his hands must be
G
There is no intuition
C D
Perform it too like me
[Chorus]
D
I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
C D
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
D
I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
C D
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
[Verse]
G
Oh, the power and the glory
C
The pleasure and the pain
G
That Scandinavian's got it made
C D
I'm buying stuff for debt
[Verse]
G
When you think I'm doing nothing
C
I'm still up for a fight
G
It's me you should be trusting
C D
'Cause you know I'll get it right
[Verse]
G
Won't you listen to my story
C
How the Devil took my hand
G
And led me to a bench and vise
C D
Where I made my stand
[Chorus]
D
I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
C D
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
D
Yes, I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day
C D
Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
