[G]Wel[Em]l[C][C#dim][G]
[D][Am][D][G][D]
[G]it was battered and scared,

[A]Well it sure [D]ain't much but its all we got [G]left
I guess we aught to sell it to,
Oh, now who'll [Bm]start the bid
[G]on [C]this old violin?
Just one more [C#dim]and we'll be through.

And then he cried one give [D]me one dollar,
Who'll make [Am]it two only two
dollars who'll make [D]it three,
[G]Three dollars twice now that's a good pri[D]ce,
Now who's gonna bid for

Who's got four Just one dollar more
to bid on this old violin?

[Verse 3]
Well the [G]air was hot and the people stood
around as the sun was setting low,
From the back of [C]the crowd
a gray haired [G]man,
Came forward and picked up the bow,
[A]He wiped the dust fro[D]m the old violin
[G]then he tightened up the strings,
[C]Then he played out a m[C#dim]elody pure and sweet,
[D]sweeter than [Am]the Angels [D]sing,[G][D][Esus4][A]
And then the music stopped and the auctioneer,
[D]With a voice that was quiet and low
[A]he said now what am I bid,
For this old violin and he held it up
with [Ebdim]a bow.

[Verse 4]
And then he cried out one give me one [Esus4]thou sand,

And the people cried out what made the

[A]Then the auctioneer stopped
and he said with a smile,
It was the touch of the Master
[Ebdim]'s hand.

[Verse 5]
You [D]know threes [Esus4]many a man[A]

[E]Oh, but the[A]n the Master[E] comes,
And that [D]old foolish [A]crowd they never understand,
The worth of a soul and the change
that is rought,
Just [D]by one touch
of the Masters hand.

[Verse 6]
And then he cried out [Ebdim]one give me one thousand,
Who'll make it two [A]only two thousand who'll make it three,

Three thousand twice you know that's a [E]good price,
[A]Common who's gonna bid for me?
And the people cried out what made the
change we [D]don't understand,
Then [Ebdim]the auctioneer
stopped and he said with a smile,
It was the touch, that's all [A]it
was; it was the touch of the Master's hand,
It [Bm]was the touch of the Master's hand; oh, it
[E]was [A]the touch of the [E]Master's [D]hand.
