People steal,
[F] they [C] cheat and lie
For wealth and what [F] it [C] will buy
Don't they know judgment [C] day?
Gold and silver
[G] will melt [C] away
I'd rather be
[F] in a deep [C] dark grave
And know that my
[F] first son was saved
Than to live in [F] this fire
[C] in a house of gold
And [D] deny my God
[G] and build my soul
[F] [C]

What good is gold and silver to
Even your heart, not good and true
Sinner, [F] hear me when I [C] say
I'm falling on [Em]
your [G] knees [C] and pray
For I'd rather be
[Am] in a deep dark grave
And know that my [F]
first [C] son was saved
Than to live [F] in this fire [C] in a house of gold
And deny my God [Em]
