I'd Rather Live by the Side of the Road Mac Wiseman ft  Polly Lewis chords
Start Jamming...
There are people who would rather live in splendor, [D] and brag about their silver and their gold.
People who would trade [A] God's promise [B] for a story [E] to hold.
[A] People who would rather live in [F#m] mansions, [D] people who would rather live abroad.
But I'd rather have a [A] little log cabin [E] by the side of [A] the road.
I'd rather live by the side of the road, and cry [D] to point souls to bless the boat.
Than to [A] be a king or a millionaire, and [C#] live [B] in mansions in bright [E]
arrays.
I'd [A] rather do a label-eating, or travel [D] a year, or a friend in need.
I'd [A] rather live by the side of the road, and help some [E] pilgrim along the way.

I would rather have a cabin by the roadside, where the [D] pilgrimage of man is passing by.
I'd rather point some souls to Jesus, [B] and that city [E] on high.
[A] Every day I want to help to scatter roses, [D] every night I want the land to shine abroad.
With a welcome from my little [A] bay window, [E] by the side [A] of the road.
I'd rather live
[D] by the side of the road, and pray to the blessed soul.
Than to [A] be a king or a millionaire, and live [B] in mansions in bright [E] arrays.
I'd [A] rather do a label-eating, or [D] travel a year, or a friend in need.
I'd [A] rather live by the side of the road, and help some [E] pilgrim along the [A] way.
