      Sandyland



1st Version (Standard)

 C
Don't build your house on the sandyland.
 C                               G7
Don't build it too near to the shore.
         C                 C7
Well it might look kind of nice,
           F
but you'll have to build it twice.
            C                   G7         C
Yes, you'll have to build your house once more.
            C                       C   F C
You better build your house upon a rock.
        C                   G7
Make a good foundation on a solid rock,
         C     C7  F
and the storms may come and go,
         C            G7        C
but the peace of God you will know.
