from the album "Across The Broad Atlantic"
ANGEL OF DEATH - as perfomed by Shane MacGowan and The Popes
Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr.
CAPO: 2nd FRET KEY: E PLAY: D
In the great book of John - you're warned of the day
When you'll be laid - beneath the cold clay
The Angel of Death - will come from the sky
And claim your poor soul - when the time comes to die.
Chorus
When The Angel of Death - comes down after you
Can you smile and say - that you have been true
Can you truthfully say - with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet - the Angel of death.
When the lights all grow dim - and the dark shadows creep
And then your loved ones - are gathered to weep
Can you face them and say - with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet - the Angel of Death.
Chorus
When The Angel of Death - comes down after you
Can you smile and say - that you have been true
Can you truthfully say - with your dying breath
That you're ready to meet - the Angel of death.
