Wealth won’t save your soul (Listen to midi)

A - D - A - E - A

A            D                  A

1. As we journey along, on life’s wicked road,

                                                 E

so selfish are we, for silver and gold.

A                                    D                 A

You can treasure your wealth, your diamonds and gold,

  E                A

but my friends, it won’t save, your poor wicked soul.

A                    D                 A

2. For when God calls, from his home up on high,

E

to your earthly wealth you must say goodbye.

A                      D                  A

Then it’s useless to you, if you’ve strayed from the fold,

E               A

for my friends, it won’t save, your poor wicked soul.

+ instrumental = verse 2

A               D               A

3. The rich man like all, will be judged at that time,

    E

but all of his wealth, will be left behind.

A                    D                 A

For no matter how much earthly wealth you get hold,

                                                       E                A

my friends, it won’t save, your poor wicked soul.

                                                       E               A

My friends, it won’t save, your poor wicked soul.
