CAPO at the 2nd FRET
In the D great book of John you're G warned of the D day
When you'll be laid beneath the cold A7 clay
The G Angel of D Death will G come from the D sky
And claim your poor soul when the A7 time comes to D die.
CHORUS
When The Angel of Death comes G down after D you
Can you smile and say that you have been A7 true
Can you G truthfully D say with G your dying D breath
That you're ready to meet the A7 Angel of D death.
When the D lights all grow dim and the G dark shadows D creep
And then your loved ones are gathered to A7 weep
Can you G face them and D say with G your dying D breath
That you're ready to meet the A7 Angel of D Death.
