[A] [Bm] [A]
[G] [D]
People steal, [G] they [D] cheat and lie, For wealth and power it will buy.
But don't [G] they know, on the [D] Judgment Day, That gold [A] and silver will [G] melt [D]
away.
I'd rather be [G] in a deep [D] dark grave, And know that my poor soul is safe,
Than to live in [G] this world in a [D] house of gold,
And deny [A] my God [G] and him [D] my soul.

[G] Sender hear me when [D] I say, Fall [A] down on [G] your [D] knees and pray.
I'd rather be [G] in a deep [D] dark grave, And know that my poor soul is safe,
Than to live in [G] this world in a [D] house of gold,
And deny [A] my God [G] and him [D] my soul.
