[Verse 1]
[A]People steal, they [D]cheat and lie
[A]For wealth and [D]what it will buy
[A]And don't they [D]know on judgement day
[A]Gold and silver [E]will melt away
[A]I'd rather be in [D]a deep, dark grave
[A]And know that my [D]first soul was saved
[A] [D] [A]
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
[E]And deny my God [A]and doom my soul
[D]♪
[A]What good is [D]gold and silver, too
[A]Even your heart's [D]not good and true
[A]Sinner, hear me [D]when I say
[A]Fall down on [D]your knees and pray
[A]I'd rather be in [D]a deep, dark grave
[A]And know that my [D]first soul was saved

Than to live in this world in a house of gold
[D]And deny my God [A]and doom my soul
