Version 1 Version 2
[Verse 1]
D
People steal, they cheat and lie
D
For wealth and what it will buy
G D
Don't they know on the judgement day
A D
That gold and silver will melt away
[Verse 2]
D
I'd rather be in a dark hole grave
D
And know that my poor soul was saved
G D
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
A D
And deny my God and doom my soul
[Verse 3]
D
Jesus said, come unto me
D
I'll break sin's chains and set you free
G D
I'll carry you to a home on high
A D
Where you'll never, never die
[Chorus]
D
I'd rather be in a dark hole grave
D
And know that my poor soul was saved
G D
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
A D
And deny my God and doom my soul
[Verse 4]
D
Jesus died there on the cross
D
So this world would not be lost
G D
Sinner hear now what I say
A D
For someday you'll have to pay
[Chorus]
D
I'd rather be in a dark hole grave
D
And know that my poor soul was saved
G D
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
A D
And deny my God and doom my soul
