Tonart: D major
Verse 1
G
A
D
I will sing you a song
of this world and its ways
A
D
Of the many strange people we meet
D
who rolls in his millions of wealth
A
D
To the poor struggling rich in the street
G
Though a man he is poor
D
and in tethers and grave,
A
D
We should never reject or despise.
G
But think of the adage,
D
and remember, my friend,
That six feet of earth
A
D
will make us all of one side.
There is many a man
with his thousands to spend
A
D
And he haughtily holds up his head
A
D
That is honestly yearning his breath
G
But his gold and his jewels
That six feet of earth
A
D
will make a soul of one fly.
There is many a coat
that is tattered and torn,
A
D
And be neath lies the true honest heart,
G
But because he's not dressed
D
like his neighbor in style,
A
D
society keeps them apart.
G
But the time is soon coming
D
A
when we shall behold the mounds
D
where the great and small lie.
G
Death calls in both hands
D
to the grave in the end
And six feet of earth
A
D
will make them all of one side
Now if ever you should meet
a poor fellow who tries
A
D
To baffle this world and his frowns
D
and for chance he'll succeed
A
D
Don't crush him, still keep him down
G
D
A cup of cold water in charity given
A
D
Is remembered with joy in the sky
G
D
We all are but fumes, we all have to die
And six feet of earth
A
D
will make us all of one side you
