[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
There are [G]people who
would rather live in splendor
And [C]brag about their silver and their gold
And people who would trade
God's [G]promise
For its [A]glory to [D]hold
There are [G]people who would
rather live in mansions
There are [C]people who would
rather live abroad
But I'd rather have a little log [G]cabin
By [D]the side of the road
[G]

[Verse 2]
I'd rather live by the side of the road
And try to point [C]souls to the blest abode
Than to be a [G]king or a millionaire
And live in [A]mansions in bright ar[D]ray
I'd rather [G]do a neighborly deed
For some [C]traveler or a friend in need
I'd rather [G]live by the side of the road
And help some pilgrim [D]along life's

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
I would [G]rather have a cabin
by the roadside
Where the [C]pilgrimage of man is passing by
To help to point soul to Je[G]sus
To that [A]city on [D]high
Every[G]day I want to help to scatter roses
Every [C]night I want my lamp
to shine abroad
With a welcome from my little bay [G]window
By the [D]side of the road
[G]

[Verse 4]
I'd rather live by the side of the road
And try to point [C]souls to the blest abode
Than to be a [G]king or a millionaire
And live in [A]mansions in bright ar[D]ray
I'd rather [G]do a neighborly deed
For some [C]traveler or a friend in need
I'd rather [G]live by the side of the road
And help some pilgrim [D]along life's way
