Dolly Parton - Silver and Gold guitar chord

(D)Well I met an old man, walkin down the street

His (A7)clothes were torn and tattered

With (D)sandals on his feet

And I stopped to help him and lend him a hand

He said (A7)I love you so much but you must understand

Cho:

(NC) Silver and (D)gold, might buy you a home

But things of this (A7)world, they won't last you (D)long

And time has a way of turning us old

And time can't be (A7)bought back with silver and (D)gold

(D)And he said to me let's rest for awhile

For (A7)I have some good news to (D)share with you child

He said you can't change this old world

The people need to know, that a (A7)dear saviour died here

A long long time ago and

Repeat cho:

(D)His eyes shown like diamonds and his smile was Heaven sent

His (A7)hair was long and flowing and his (D)back was slightly bent

And I knew, he knew it, for that day I changed

And as (A7)I watched him walk on, I forgot to get his name

He said

2nd Cho:

(NC)Silver and (D)gold, can't buy you a home

When this life has (A7)ended and your time is (D)gone

But you can live in a world, where you'll never grow old

And things can't be (A7)bought there, with silver and (D)gold

And time can't be (A7)bought back, with silver and (D)gold
