Pity the Man Lyrics & Chords

By The Hemphills

(C)I guess we should pity (Am)those in this (C)world,

Who must use the earth for a (G)bed.

And I guess we should pity the man who must toil,

From dawn to dusk for his (C)bread.

But these can be rich if (Am)they have (C)contentment,

And share in God's salvation (Am)plan.

So if you know any who (C)though they have (Am)plenty,

Are (G)lost, then pity the (C)man.



Chorus

(C)Pity the man who has treasures to hold.

And (G)holds not the pearl of great (C)price,

(D)Pity the man though he lives long earth,

Yet he knows not the (Am)Giver of (G)life.

Be he (C)doctor, or lawyer, (Am)traveler, or (C)merchant,

Or builder who builds on the (Am)sand.

Pauper or king to be (C)saved id the (Am)thing,

If he's (G)lost then pity the (C)man.



I guess there are those who pity the saved,

As though we were missing life's best.

Oh, there forgetting the treasures of earth pass away,

And that heaven is the place to invest.

Oh their mean while esteeming, the man who is scheming.

To hold all the wealth that he can.

But if while he's living, to God he's not giving

His soul, then pity the man.
