One Drop Of Water - Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mtn. Boys chords
Start Jamming...
[A] [E]
[A] The rich man lived in luxury surrounded by his door.
He'd always had the very best [B] that money could [E] afford.
[A] He left this world not caring about his rest and play.
He laid his eyes toward heaven, [E] but it was [A] too late.
Give me one drop of water, the rich man cried from hell.
One drop of water, [F#m] but still no [E] water [A] fell.
He always was a selfish man and his heart was filled with grief.
Now a little drop of water is all he'll ever need.
You can't love gold and silver and love the Savior too.
Like the eye of the needle, no [B] chance of getting [E]
[A] through.
So make your reservations before another day.
For all your gold and silver [E] will surely [A] pass away.
Give me one drop of water, the rich man cried from hell.
One drop of water, but [F#m] still no water [E] fell.
[A] He always was a selfish man and his heart was filled with grief.
Now a little drop of water is all he'll ever need.
There's one way to heaven, it's by amazing grace.
Where everyone is equal, [B] no matter [E] creed or race.
[A] So have no other Bible and always put God first.
Give me one drop of water, the rich man cried from hell.
One drop of water, [F#] but still no [E] water fell.
[A] He always was a selfish man and his heart was filled with grief.
Now a little drop of water is all he'll ever need.
Now a little drop of water is all he'll ever need.
