D          G          D 
People steal they cheat they lie  
    D                       D7   
for wealth and what it will buy 
               G                     D 
But don't they know on the Judgement Day  
                 Em    A           D 
Aall the gold and silver will melt away 
 
I'd rather be in a deep dark grave  
And know that my poor soul was saved 
Than to live in this world in a house of gold  
And deny my God and doom my soul 
 
What good is gold and silver too  
If your heart's not pure and true 
Sinner hear me when I say  
Fall down on your knees and pray 
 
Oh I'd rather be in a deep dark grave 
And know that my poor soul was saved 
Than to live in this world in a house of gold  
And deny my God and doom my soul 
 
Than to live in this world in a house of gold  
And deny my God and doom my soul
