Remember Man Thou Art Dust 
Recorded by Cowboy Copas
Written by Ken McRae and Harvey Boileau
   
C          G7      C               F              C
Long years ago but when a child my mother said to me
F               C        A7     D7              G7
My son when you become a man no matter what may be
C                                   F                    C
Then do not strive to hard for fame nor for great riches yearn
     F        B7       C        A7
Just remember son that thou art dust 
       D7       G7     C
And to dust you must return

        E7                             Am
I still recall those words she said to me
     D7                           G7
What’ere falls will be my guide unto eternity
       C            G7        C
And so along life’s road I’ll ride
   F                  C
To practice what I’ve learned
     F        B7       C        Am
Just remember son that thou art dust
       D7       G7     C
And to dust you must return
        
           G7     C         F                    C
Instead of trying every day to keep your pile of gold
F                    C         A7   D7                   G7
I’m sure you’ll find more happiness in helping those who are old
C          G7         C          F                         C
You cannot bring your gold along to pay the debts that you earned
   F        B7       C        Am
So remember son that thou art dust 
       D7       G7     C
And to dust you must return
 
           E7                            A7
The pearly gates will never open wide to hearts with hate
    D7                             G7
And life so fill with jealousy and pride
       C
And so along life’s road I’ll ride
   F                  C
To practice what I’ve learned
     F        B7       C        Am
Just remember son that thou art dust
       D7       G7     C
And to dust you must return
