[D]
Well, I met an old man [G] walking [D] down the street
[A] His clothes were torn and tattered [D] with sandals on his feet
And I stopped to help him and lend [G] him [D] a hand
He [A] said, I love you so much, but you [D] must [Em] understand
Silver [D] and gold might buy you a home
But things [Em] of this world, [A] they won't [D] last too long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time [Em] can't be bought back [A] with [D] silver and gold
And he said to me, let's [G] rest for [D] a while
[A] Cause I have some good news [D] to share with you, child
He said, you can't change this old world
But [G] people need to [D] know [A] that a dear savior died here
A long, long time [Em] ago
And silver [D] and gold might buy you a home
But things of [Em] this world, [A] they won't [D] last too long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't [Em] be bought back [A] with [D] silver and gold
His eyes shone like diamonds and his smile [G] was heaven [D] sent
[A] His hair was long and flowing and [D] his back was slightly bent
And I knew he knew it cause that [G] day [D] I changed
[A] And as I watched him walk on, I forgot to [Bm] get [Em] his name
He said, [D] silver and gold can't buy you a home
When this [Em] life has ended [A] and your [D] time is gone
But you can live in a world where you'll never grow old
And things [Em] can't be bought back [A] with [D] silver and gold
And time [Em] can't be bought back [A] with [D] silver and gold
Well, I met an old man [G] walking [D] down the street
[A] His clothes were torn and tattered [D] with sandals on his feet
And I stopped to help him and lend [G] him [D] a hand
