Verse Ds4 -> Ca9 -> Em/G -> G (Play each line with these chords)
My father's a hard earned worker, my mother has a heart of gold.
I was never much younger but I feel twice as old
Chorus
Verse:Ds4 -> Ca9 -> Em/G -> G
I've got money for food and a little bit of gasoline.
I've got plenty of time but I want everything.
Verse:D/Em -> C -> Gs2 -> G
But I don't need no gold or silver
Oh I only need a few new things
Oh, I would buy pearls for my lover
Oh, and a brand new set of guitar strings.
Chorus
Verse: Ds4 -> Ca9 -> Em/G -> G
I feel a cold wind blowin, dark clouds forming in the Western sky.
I've got a feeling like knowing that everyone here will some day die.
Chorus
Verse: Ds4 -> Ca9 -> Em/G -> G
But I see a bright star shining high above Bethlehem town
I hear a chorus of angels singing out loud the sweetest sound.
Oh brothers, let's go down, let's go down, won't you come on down
oh brothers, let's go down, down in the river to pray.
Verse:D/Em -> C -> Gs2 -> G
But I don't need no gold or silver
Oh I only need a few new things
Oh, I would buy a string of pearls for my lover
or just brand new set of guitar strings.
