Verse 1: C I went into a home one day to see some friends of mine D7 G7 Of all the books and magazines not a Bible could I find C I asked them for the Bible when they brought it what a shame G7 C For the dust was covered over it not a finger-print was plain Chorus:
Dust on the Bible dust on the holy word D7 G7 The words of all the prophets and the sayings of our Lord C Of all the other books you'll find there's none salvation holds G7 C Get that dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul Verse 2: You can read your magazines of love and tragic things D7 G7 But not one word of bible verse not a scripture do you know C When it is the very truth and its contents good for you G7 C But if dust is covered over it will surly doom your soul Chorus: Dust on the Bible dust on the holy word D7 G7 The words of all the prophets and the sayings of our Lord C Of all the other books you'll find there's none salvation holds G7 C Get that dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul Verse 3: Oh if you have a friend you'd like to help along life's way D7 G7 Just tell him that the Good Book shows a mortal how to pray C The best advice to give him that will make his burden light G7 C Is to dust the family Bible trade the wrong way for the right Chorus: Dust on the Bible dust on the holy word D7 G7 The words of all the prophets and the sayings of our Lord C Of all the other books you'll find there's none salvation holds G7 C Get that dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul
