[A] [E]
[A] The rich man lived in luxury, surrounded by his door.
He'd always had the very [B] best that money [E] could afford.
[A] He left this world not caring about his resting place.
He laid his eyes toward heaven, [E] but it [A] was too late.
Give me one drop of water, the rich man cried from hell.
One drop of water, [F#m] but still [E] no water [A] fell.
He always was a selfish man, his heart was filled with grief.
Now a little drop of water is all he'll ever need.
You can't love gold and silver, and love the Savior too.
Like the eye of a needle, [B] your chance of [E] getting [A] through.
So make your reservations before another day.
For all your gold and silver [Em] will [A] surely pass away.
Give me one drop of water, the rich man cried from hell.
One drop of water, [F#m] but still [E] no water [A] fell.
He always was a selfish man, his heart was filled with grief.
Now a little drop of water is all he'll ever need.
There's one way to heaven, it's by amazing grace.
Where everyone is equal, [B] no matter [E] creed or [A] race.
So have no other Bible, and always put God first.
We'll live on milk and honey, and we will never thirst.
Give me one drop of water, the rich man cried from hell.
One drop of water, [B] but still no [E] water [A] fell.
He always was a selfish man, his heart was filled with grief.
Now a little drop of water is all he'll ever need.
Now a little drop of water is [E] all he'll ever [A] need.
