Well, it was battered and [Em] scarred and the auctioneer felt it [Bb] was hardly worth his [F] while
To waste much time [Em] on this old violin, [Bb] but he held it up [C] with a smile
[F] Now it sure ain't much, [C] but it's all we got [Bb] left.
I guess we ought to [Gm] sell it, too
[F] Now who'll start the bid on this [C] old violin?
Just one more and we'll be through
Then he [F] cried, one, give me one [C] dollar.
Who'll make it two?
[Gm] Only two dollars.
Who'll make it three?
Three dollars twice, [C] now that's a good price, [Bb] but who'll start the bid for me?
[C] [F] Raise up your hands and don't [C] wait any longer, cause this [Gm] auction is about to end
Now who's got four?
Just one dollar [Bb] more to bid on this [F] old violin
[C] Well now [F] the air was hot and [C] the people stood around [Bb] as the sun was setting [F] low
Then from the back of the crowd, [C] a gray-haired man [Bb] came forward and picked [C] up the bowls
He [F] bent a whiff of dust from [C] the old violin and he tightened up the [G] strings
And [F] then he played out a [C] melody pure and sweet, [Bb] sweeter than the [F] angels sing
[C] Well, then the music stopped [Dm] and the [Bb] auctioneer with a voice that was [F] quiet and low
Said now who'll start the bid [Dm] on this old violin?
And he held it up [C] with a bow
[D] Then he [G] cried, one, give me one [D] thousand.
Who'll make it two?
[C] Only two thousand.
Who'll make it three?
[D] Three thousand twice, now that's a good [C] price, but who'll start the [G] bid for me?
Well, the people called out, what made the [C] change?
We don't understand
Then the auctioneer stopped [A] and he said with a smile, it was the touch [G] of the master's hands
You know there's many a man with his life out of tune, [C] battered and [G] scarred by sin
And he's auctioned cheap to a thankless [D] world, much like that old violin
Well, [G] but then the master [D] comes and that old foolish [C] crowd, they never [Am] understand
[G] The worth of a [D] soul and the change was brought [C] just by one touch of the [G] master's hand
Yes, he cried, one, give me one thousand.
Who'll make it two?
[Em] Only two thousand.
[C] Who'll make it three?
[A] Three thousand twice, now that's a good price, [C] but who'll start the bid [G] for me?
