verse

chorus

G/D

7/4

G/D

7/4

My name is death and I excel.

I can open the gates to Heaven or Hell.

Cast a-side the flesh of thee.

Cast aside and set you free

chorus

Oh-oh, Death,

Can't you spare me over till another year.

I lock their jaws so they can't talk,

Stiffen their legs so they can't walk.

Close their eyes so they can't see,

The chill you feel, it comes from me.

Oh ma-ma mama come to my bed,

Place a cold rag on my head.

My eyes are aching and I cannot see,

I feel the sheet pulling over me.

each chord shown is one boom-chang, so the final bar in the chorus is 2/4.
