[Verse 1]
[Am]O Death, O Death
Won't [Dm]you spare me over
'til another [F]year?
[Am]

[Verse 2]
Well, what is this that I can't see
With [Dm]ice- cold hands taking hold of [Am]me?
Well, I am Death, none can excel
[Dm]I'll open the door to heaven [G]or hell[Am]

[Verse 3]
O [Am]Death, someone would pray
[Dm]Could you wait to call me
another [Am]day?
The children pray, the preacher preach
[Dm]The time and mercy is out of your reac[Am]h

[Verse 4]
I'll fix your feet 'til you [Dm]can't walk
I'll lock your jaw 'til you can't [Am]talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
[Dm]This very hour come and go [Am]with me

[Verse 5]
I [Am]am death I come to take the soul
[Dm]And leave a body and I'll leave it cold
[Am]To draw the flesh up off the frame
[Dm]An d dirt and worm both ha[Am]ve their claim

[Verse 6]

an[G]other year?

[Verse 7]
My mother came up [Dm]to my bed
And placed a cold towel upon [Am]my head
My head is hot, my feet are cold
[Dm]An d death is movin' up al[G]l a night lo[Am]ng

[Verse 8]
O [Am]Death,
how you are treating me
You've closed [Dm]my eyes, so
[G]I can't [Am]see
And you hurt my body and
make me cold
You run [Dm]my life right out of my so[Am]ul

[Verse 9]
[Am]O Death, please consider my ag[Dm]e
[Am]Please, [F]don't take [Dm]me out at this st[Am]age
My wealth is all at your com[C]mand
[Dm]If you will move your icy ha[Am]nd

[Verse 10]
The old, the young, the [Am]rich or poor
All [Dm]alike to me,
[F]I s[Am]hould know
No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold
Nothing [Dm]satisfies me but [Am]your soul

[Verse 11]
O [F]Death, O Death
