[Am][A][Am][A][Am][G][A]
As [C]I w[G]alked o[Bm]ut on[Am]e day, one da[A]y,
I met an aged man by the way.
His hair was bold, [Am]his beard was g[Bm]ray
[Am]His clot[A]hing made all the cold earth[Am]en clay
[A]His clothing made all the col[G]d earthen cla[A]y
I said,
[Am]O man, what man are [A]you?
What country do you belong unto?
My name is death, [Am]hath [C]heard [Bm]of me[Am]?
All kings [A]and princes bow down [C]un [Am]to me
[A]And you, fair maid,
must [G]come [A]along [G]with [A]me
I'll [Am]give you gold, I'll [C]give [Am]you crown
[A]I'll give you costly rich robes to wear
[Am]If you will sp[A]are me a[Am] little whil[Bm]e[Am]
And [A]give me time, my life [C]to [Am]lament[A]
And give me time I'd [C]like to [G]have [A]left I'll hav[Am]e no [G]gol[D]d,
[Am]I'll have no wealth
[A]I want no costly rich robes to wear I
cannot [Bm]spare [A]you [Am]a little wh[Bm]ile[Am]
[A]Nor give you time your life
[Am]to l[A]ament[C][G][A]
[Am]In six months time this family die
[A]Let this be brought on my tombstone,
she cried,
Here [Am]lies a poor woman
in stress [Bm]and [Am]lame
Just [A]in her gloom she
won't snatch [C]it [Am]away
[A]Her clothing made of the col[C]d ear[Am]then cla[G]y[A][Am][Bm][Am]
[A][C][Am][C][Bm][Am]
[A][Am][A][C][A][G][A][Am]
[G][Am]
[A]In the of the
Amen.
An aged man by the way
His [Am]hand [A]was bold,
his beard [C]was [Am]gray
His cloth[A]ing made of the
cold earthen [A]clay
His clothing made of the [G]cold earthen clay
you
