hand
                              F
In every hour that passes O

What signifies the life of man
               Em      F          C

[Verse 2]
The worldly race may riches chase
Dm

                                  F
And riches still may fly them O
                        C          
And though at last they catch them 
      Dm
fast
                 Em      F        
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them
