[Verse 1]
                     Gm          Ebm         Gm
In the great book of John you'll wonder the day
                                      D7
When you'll be laid beneath the cold clay
              Gm        Ebm           Gm
The angel of death will come from the sky
                  Ebm            D            Gm
And claim up your soul when the day comes to die


[Verse 2]
                     Gm       Ebm         Gm
When the angel of death comes down after you
                                           D7
Can you smile and say that you have been true
              Gm            Ebm        Gm
Can you truthfully say with your dying breath
                     Ebm      D        Gm
That you're ready to meet the angel of death


[Verse 3]
                         Gm          Ebm          Gm
When the lights all grow dim and the dark shadows creep
                                     D7
And your loved ones have gathered to weep
                      Gm       Ebm        Gm
Can you face them and say with your dying breath
                     Ebm      D        Gm
That you're ready to meet the angel of death

When the angel of death comes down after you
