       A     D               A 
People steal, they cheat and lie 
                   D        A 
For wealth and what it will buy 
           D                  A 
Don't they know, on judgement day 
               E           A 
Gold and silver will melt away 


             D                A 
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave 
                D              A 
And know that my poor soul was saved 
                     D                   A 
Than to live in this world in a house of gold 
               E            A 
And deny my god and doom my soul
