** pull off  then: * hammer on 
 
\ = downstroke 
^ = upstroke 
 
I also throw in some pull-off/hammer-ons on the G string when it goes up to the D chord. 
 
 
 
 
 
G                C 
I wanna build me a house on higher ground 
G                C 
I wanna find me a word where love's the only sound 
D            C 
High above this road, pale with shiver and doubt 
D                C 
I wanna show you my love, figure it all out 
    G 
With Leah 
 
G      C 
 
I walk this road with a hammer and a fiery lantern 
With this hand I build, and with this I burn 
I wanna live in the same house, beneath the same roof 
Sleep in the same bed, search for the same proof 
As Leah 
 
D  C   D   G  (Solo Trumpet) 
G   C 
 
I've got something in my heart I've been waiting to give 
I've got a life I wanna start, yeah, one I've been waiting to live 
No more waitin', tonight I feel the light, I say a prayer 
I open the door, I climb the stairs
