Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
'Twas battered and scared and the
auctioneer thought it hardly worth his while
G 
To waste much time on the ol'
violin but he held it up with a smile
D 
"What am I offered good
folks?" he cried
"Who will start the bidding for me?
G 
A dollar, one dollar, two, only two
C 
D 
G 
Two dollars who will make it three
C 
Three dollars once three dollars
twice going for three
G 
But, no from the back of the room a
gray haired man came forward
And gently picked up the bow
D 
Am 
And then wiping the dust from the ol' violin
D 
tuning the loose strings,
G 
C 
He played a melody as pure and sweet as
G 
C 
G 
the caroling angel's sing
D 
The music stopped and the auctioneer
with a voice quiet and low said
G 
"Now what am I bid for the ol' viol
C 
G 
Am 
G 
in?" he held it up with the bow
C 
A thousand dollars, who will make it two
Two thousand who will make it three
Three thousand once,
G 
Three thousand twice and going going and gone.
D 
The people cheered,
but some of them cried,
"We don't understand what
changed its worth?"
G 
Then someone replied,
C 
G 
"The touch of the master's hand."
Am 
C 
G 
C 
So many a man with life out of tune
G 
much like the ol' violin
D 
Am 
But the Master comes
D 
and a change is brought
G 
C 
G 
D 
By the touch of the Master's Hand by the touch of
G 
the Master's Hand
