---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Angel of Death - Hank Williams ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dave S. Email: prime-prine@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard E In the great book of John youre warned of the day B7 When you'll be laid beneath the cold clay E The Angel of Death will come from the sky E And claim your poor soul when the time comes to die.
Chorus: E When The Angel of Death comes down after you B7 Can you smile and say that you have been true E Can you truthfully say with your dying breath E That youre ready to meet the Angel of death. E When the lights all grow dim and the dark shadows creep B7 And then your loved ones are gathered to weep E Can you face them and say with your dying breath E That youre ready to meet the Angel of death.
