The Angel Of Death

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

When The Angel of Death comes down after you 
Can you smile and say that you have been true 
Can you truthfully say with your dying breath 
That you're ready to meet the Angel of death.
