The Angel Of Death (Letra)
Words and music by hank williams, sr.
Capo: 2nd fret key: e play: d
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.
Chorus
