The Touch Of The Master's Hand chords by Johnny Paycheck
Verse 1
D
A
It was battered and scarred,
D
and the auctioneer thought
G
D
it scarcely worth his while
G
to waste much time on the old violin,
A
but he held it up and smiled.
What'll my bid, good folks? he cried.
Who'll start the bidding for me?
D
A dollar? A dollar?
G
Now who'll make it two?
D
Two dollars?
And who'll make it three?
Three dollars once,
three dollars twice,
going for three
A
G
But no, from the room far back
a gray -haired man came forward
D
Picked up the bow,
G
then wiping the dust
D
from the old violin
G
Tightening up all the loose strings,
D
he played a melody
A
Pure and sweet,
D
C
D
G
as sweet as an angel sings
And as the music played,
the auctioneer,
C
with a voice that was quiet and low,
D
said, what am I bid for the old violin?
And he held it up with the bow.
A thousand dollars?
And who'll make it two?
G
Two thousand?
Who'll make it three?
Three thousand once?
Three thousand twice?
Going and going, said he.
The people cheered,
C
but some of them cried,
we do not understand what
G
Em
changed its worth.
G
Em
The man smiled and replied,
G
D
G
the touch of the master's hand.
You know, many a man with
life out of tune
C
and battered and torn with sin,
he's auctioned cheap to
a thoughtless crowd,
D
much like the old violin,
a bowl of porridge, a glass of wine,
a game, and he travels on.
G
He's going once, going twice,
he's going and almost gone.
But then the master comes,
and the foolish crowd,
C
well, they can never quite understand
G
Em
the worth of a soul,
G
Em
an d the change that's wrought
G
D
by the touch of the Master's hand.
G
