[Verse 1]
[Am]Touch Of [Em]The M[Am]asters
[Em]Hand[C][D][G]
Well it was battered and scared,
And the [D]auctioneer felt it was
[C]hardly worth his while,
To waste [G]much time on the [D]old violin
[C]but he held it up [Am]with a smi[D]le,
Well [G]it sure ain't much but its [D]all we got left I
[C]guess we aught to sell [G]it [Asus4]to,[G][Asus4]
[G]Oh, now who'll start the
bid on this [D]old violin?
Just [C]one more and [Am]well [G]be through.
And then he [D]cried one

[Verse 2]
[G]
give me one dollar,
Who'll make it two only [Am]two dollars
who'll make it three,
Three dollars twice [C]now
that's [D]a good price,
Now [C]who's gonna bid for [D]me?
[G]Raise up your hand now don't wait any
longer the [Am]auctions about to [C]end,
[D]Who's got four Just one dollar more
to [C]bid on this [Am]old violin?

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Em][C]
[D]Well the air

[Verse 3]
[G]was hot and the peo[D]ple stood
around [C]as the sun was setting [G]low,[C]
From the [G]back of the crowd
[D]a gray haired man,
[C]Came forward and picked [Am]up t[D]he bow,
He [G]wiped the dust from the [D]old violin
then he [C]tightened up [G]the string[A]s,
Then [Am]he pl[G]ayed out a melody pu[D]re and sweet,
[C]sweeter than the [G]Angels [C]sing,[G]
And then the mu[D]sic stopped
and the [Em]auctioneer,
[C]With a voice that was quiet and
[G]low he said now [Bm]what am I bid,
For this [Em]old violin and he h[C]eld
it [Am]up with a bow.

[Interlude 2]
[D][Esus4]
And [E]then he cried out one

[Verse 4]
[A]
give me one thousand,
Who'll make it two only two thou[Esus4]sand
[Asus4]who'll make it three,[A][Asus4][A]
[Esus4]Three thousand twice you know
that's a good price,
Common who's [D]gonna to
bid for [Esus4]me?
[A]And the people cried out what made the change
we [Asus4]don't und[D]ersta[Asus4]nd,[Esus4]
Then the auctioneer stopped
and he said with a smile,
[Em]It was the t[D]ouch of the Mast[A]ers

[Interlude 3]
hand.
[A][Esus4][Em][C][D][A]

[Verse 5]
You know threes [A]many a man
with his life out of tune,
[D]Battered and scared [E]with sin
and [A]he's auctioned cheap,
To a thankless world much
[D]like that [Bm]old [Esus4]violin,
Oh, but then the [A]Master comes,
And that old [E]foolish crowd
[D]they never understand,
