Angel of Death Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I've seen a fire start in [Am]Frisco
The day that the earth quaked
I've seen buildings a- blazing

[Verse 2]
Throwing up in flames
[Am]I heard men, women and children
Crying out to their God for mercy
But their God didn't listen
So they were burned alive

[Verse 3]
They went [Am]down, [D]down
[Am]Deep [G]underground
In the [Am]great disaster

[Verse 4]
[Am]
I was hanging out in Berlin
In the year one thousand nine
hundred and thirty nine
I've seen Hitler's storm troopers
March right across the Maginot line

[Verse 5]
I've seen [Am]two world wars
I've seen men send rockets out into space
I foresee a holocaust
An an[G]gel of [Am]death descending to
destroy the human race

[Verse 6]
Down, [Dm]down
[Am]Deep [G]underground
A [Am]great disaster

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 7]
In the [Am]sixteenth century there
was a French philosopher
By the name of Nostradamus
Who prophesied that in the late
twentieth century
An angel of death shall waste this land

[Verse 8]
[Am]A holocaust the likes of which
This planet had never seen
Now, I ask you

[Verse 9]
Do you believe this to be true?
[Am]
I was standing by the bedside
The night that my father died
He was crying out in pain
To his God, he said,
"Have mercy, mercy"

[Verse 10]
His [Am]body was riddled with a disease
Unknown to man so he expected no cure
But before he died that night
He was lost, insane
He went [D]down, down

[Verse 11]
[Am]Deep [G]underground
A great dis[Am]aster

[Verse 12]
[Am]
You'll go [D]down, down
Deep under[G]ground
A great dis[Am]aster

[Verse 13]
[Am]
You'll go down,
[D]dow[Dm]n[D][G][D][Am]
Deep underground
[G]A great dis[Am]aster
