Carl Story - An Empty Mansion Chords

[Intro]
E    B7    E
 
 
[Verse 1]
                           A          E
Here I labor and toil as I look for a home,
                          B7
Just a humble abode among men,
         E                   A           E
While in Heaven a mansion is waiting for me
                   B7             E
And a gentle voice pleading "come in".
 
 
[Chorus]
          E
There's a mansion now empty, just waiting for me
                                 B7
At the end of life's troublesome way.
     E                                A          E
Many friends and dear loved ones will welcome me there
                      B7           E
Near the door of that mansion some day.

E    B7    E
 
 
[Verse 2]
                               A       E
When my labor and toiling have ended below
                                 B7
And my hands shall lie folded in rest,
       E                          A          E
I'll exchange this old home for a mansion up there
                    B7       E
And invite the arch angel as guest.
 
 
[Chorus]
          E
There's a mansion now empty, just waiting for me
                                 B7
At the end of life's troublesome way.
     E                                A          E
Many friends and dear loved ones will welcome me there
                      B7           E
Near the door of that mansion some day.
