IntroDA
As we journey along on life's wicked road,
E7
So selfish are we for silver and gold.
ADA
You can treasure your wealth, your diamonds and gold,
E7A
But my friend it won't save your poor wicked soul.
DA
For when God calls from his home up on high,
E7
To your earthly wealth you must say goodbye.
ADA
Then its useless to you if you've strayed from the fold,
E7A
For my friend it won't save your poor wicked soul.
ADAE7ADAE7AInstrumentalDA
The rich man like all will be judged at that time,
E7
But all of his wealth will be left behind.
ADA
For no matter how much earthly wealth you get hold,
E7A
My friend it won't save your poor wicked soul.
E7A
My friend it won't save your poor wicked soul.
