Version 1 Version 2 Version 3[Waltz] [Intro Chords] | E | | STOP [Verse 1] E A E In the great book of John you're warned of the day. E B7 When you will be laid beneath the cold clay. A E A E The Angel of Death comes down from the sky. E B7 E And claim your poor soul when the time comes to die. [Chorus] E A E When The Angel of Death comes down after you. E B7 Can you smile and say that you have been true. A E A E Can you truthfully say with your dying breath. E B7 E That you're ready to meet the Angel of death. [Verse 2] E A E When the lights all grow dim and the dark shadows creep. E B7 And then your loved ones are gathered to weep. A E A E Can you face them and say with your dying breath E B7 E That you're ready to meet the Angel of Death. [Chorus] E A E When The Angel of Death comes down after you. E B7 Can you smile and say that you have been true. A E A E Can you truthfully say with your dying breath. E B7 E That you're ready to meet the Angel of death.
