Lyrics

Words and music by hank williams, sr

In the [e] great book of john - you're [a] warned of the [e] day
When you'll be laid - beneath the cold [b7] clay
The [e] angel of death - will [a] come from the [e] sky
And claim your poor soul - when the [b7] time comes to [e] die

Chorus
When the angel of death - comes [a] down after [e] you
Can you smile and say - that you have been [b7] true
Can you [e] truthfully say - with [a] your dying [e] breath
That you're ready to meet - the [b7] angel of [e] death

When the [e] lights all grow dim - and the [a] dark shadows [e] creep
And then your loved ones - are gathered to [b7] weep
Can you [e] face them and say - with [a] your dying [e] breath
That you're ready to meet - the [b7] angel of [e] death

Chorus
