It was battered and [E] scarred and the auctioneer thought [E] it scarcely worth [B] his while
To waste much [A] time on the old violin, but [B] he held [A] it up [B] with a smile
What am I bid, good [A] people, he said, [E] who'll start the bidding for [B] me?
A dollar, [D] a dollar, [A] who'll make it two?
[B] Two dollars, [A] who'll [B] make it three?
And it's three dollars once, [A] and it's three dollars twice, [E] and don't for three, [B] but no

[F#m] What changed its worth?
[A] And the man replied, it [B] was a touch [A] of the [B] master's hand
There's many a man [A] with his life out of tune, [E] and battered and [B] scourged with sin
His [D] auction cheap [F#] to the [A] thoughtless crowd, [B] much [A] like that old [B] violin
[E] A mass of [B] porridge, a glass of wine, [D] a game and he [F#] travels on
[B] And he's going [D] once, [A] and he's going twice, [B] he's [A] going and [B] almost gone
And [E] then the master comes, [B] and the foolish crowd [D] can never quite [F#] understand
