Verse 1
(D major) Hank grew up in a very poor
environment,
with little money or none,
and when we talk about these religious songs or songs
of a religious or meaningful nature,
then we go back into his very first writings
when he was very young himself,
and I think what he was trying
to to get across
was that these struggling,
many poor farm people,
rural people in the area he grew up in
were just as good as anybody else,
had just as good a chance,
both on earth and the hereafter,
as anyone else, maybe better.
(E minor) (A major)
Verse 2
(D major)
Some people steal, they cheat (G major) and lie (D major)
For wealth and what it will buy
But don't pray it no (G major) more on
the judgment day (D major) (A major) (D major)
That gold and silver (E minor) will (A major) melt away (D major)
I'd rather be in a (G major) deep dark grave (D major)
And know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this world (G major) in a house of gold (D major)
And deny my God (E minor) an (A major) d doom
my soul (D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (E minor) (A major)
(D major)
What good is gold and sil (G major) ver to (D major) you
(A major) If (D major) your heart's not pure and true, sinner,
help (G major) me when I say, (D major) Fall down on (E minor) your (A major) knees and pray (D major)
Fall down on (E minor) your (A major) knees and pray
(D major)
