This is exactly how Dottie played the chords. Buck used modified barre chords as
Dottie later would. D - A - E

Chorus:
D A
Build my mansion next door to Jesus,
E A
and tell the angels I'm coming home,
D A
it doesn't matter who lives around me,
E A
just so my mansion sits near the throne.
Verse: 1
A D A
I have no castles no earthly kingdom,
E A
but my cabin will do till I get home,
D A
my mansions yonder on the hills of glory,
E A
oh I hope my mansion sits near God's throne.
Chorus:
Build my mansion next door to Jesus,
and tell the angels I'm coming home,
it doesn't matter who lives around me,
just so my mansion sits near the throne.
Verse: 2
My mothers mansion may be close by me,
across the golden avenue,
she was the first one to teach me of heaven,
and the very first one to tell me about you.
