Six Feet Of Earth Makes Us All One Size Chords

Lyrics & chords

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