F Bb F
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Bb F
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
C Db7 C7 F
And deny my God and lose my soul
[Verse 1]
F Bb F
People steal, they cheat, and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
Bb F
Don't they know on the judgment day
C Db7 C7 F
That their gold and silver will melt away
[Chorus]
F Bb F
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Bb F
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
C Db7 C7 F
And deny my God and lose my soul
[Verse 2]
F Bb F
What good is gold and silver, too
When your heart's not good and true
Bb F
O Sinner hear me when I say
C C7 F
Fall down on your knees and pray
[Chorus]
F Bb F
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Bb F
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
C Db7 C7 F
And deny my God and lose my soul
