[Intro]
C F Dm G C
[Verse]
C
We've laid the cables and the wires
C
We've split the wood and stoked the fires
C
We've lit our town so there is no
F
Place for crime to hide
Dm
Our little church is painted white
G
And in the safety of the night
G
We all go quiet as a mouse
G
For the word is out
C
God is in the house
[Chorus]
F
God is in the house
Dm
God is in the house
G
No cause for worry now
C
God is in the house
[Verse]
C
Moral sneaks in the White House
C
Computer geeks in the school house
C
Drug freaks in the crack house
F
We don't have that stuff here
Dm
We have a tiny little Force, yeah
G
But we need them of course
G
For the kittens in the trees
G
And at night we are on our knees
G
As quiet as a mouse
C
For God is in the house
[Chorus]
F
God is in the house
Dm
God is in the house
G
And no one's left in doubt
C
God is in the house
[Verse]
C
Homos roaming the streets in packs
C
Queer bashers with tyre-jacks
C
Lesbian counter-attacks
F
That stuff is for the big cities
Dm
Our town is very pretty
G
We have a pretty little square
G
We have a woman for a mayor
G
Our policy is firm but fair
C
Now that God is in the house
[Chorus]
F
God is in the house
Dm
God is in the house
G
Any day now He'll come out
C
God is in the house
[Instrumental]
C F Dm G C
[Verse]
C
Well-meaning little therapists
C
Goose-stepping twelve-stepping Teetotallitarianists
C
The tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissed
F
We got no time for that stuff here
Dm
Zero crime and no fear
G
We've bred all our kittens white
G
So you can see them in the night
G
And at night we're on our knees
G
As quiet as a mouse
G
Since the word got out
C
From the North down to the South
C
For no one's left in doubt
C
There's no fear about
C
If we all hold hands and very quietly shout
C
Hallelujah
[Chorus]
F
God is in the house
Dm
God is in the house
G
Oh, I wish He would come out
C
God is in the house
