People [D] steal, they [G] cheat and [D] lie For wealth and what it will buy ...[D7] But don't they [G] know on the Judgement [D] Day That Gold and [A7] silver will melt a-[D] way.
CHORUS: I'd rather be in a [G] deep dark [D] grave And know that my poor soul was saved ...[D7] Than to live in this [G] world in a House Of [D] Gold And deny my [A7] God and doom my [D] soul.
What good is Gold and silver, too If your heart's not good and true Sinner hear me when I say Fall down on your knees and pray.
