D          G           D    A    D

[Chorus]
          D                    G                 D                     A
There's always a fire in the kitchen,  There's always a kettle on the boil,
        D                    G                      D             A          D
There's no fancy carpets, or no telephone, but the one thing our house is a home.

[Verse 1]
    Em                 D              Em                  D
A stranger is always welcome,  Be it anytime of night or day,
    D                       G              D           A            D
So don't ever feel sad or lonesome,  Just call as you pass on your way.

[Chorus]
          D                    G                 D                     A
There's always a fire in the kitchen,  There's always a kettle on the boil,
        D                    G                      D             A          D
There's no fancy carpets, or no telephone, but the one thing our house is a home.

[Interlude]
D          G           D    A    D

[Verse 2]
      Em                  D              Em                           D
It's seen many happy and sad times,  But it still remains through it all,
         D                        G                   D               A             D
Though times may be changed all around it,  There's still a word of welcome in the hall.

[Chorus]
          D                    G                 D                     A
There's always a fire in the kitchen,  There's always a kettle on the boil,
        D                    G                      D             A          D
There's no fancy carpets, or no telephone, but the one thing our house is a home.

[Refrain]
        D                    G                      D             A          D
There's no fancy carpets, or no telephone, but the one thing our house is a home.
