Angel Of Death
Words and music by hank williams, sr.
Capo: 2nd fret key: e play: d
In the [d] great book of john - you're [g] warned of the [d] day
When you'll be laid - beneath the cold [a7] clay
The [g] angel of [d] death - will [g] come from the [d] sky
And claim your poor soul - when the [a7] time comes to [d] die.
Chorus
When the angel of death - comes [g] down after [d] you
Can you smile and say - that you have been [a7] true
Can you [g] truthfully [d] say - with [g] your dying [d] breath
That you're ready to meet - the [a7] angel of [d] death.
When the [d] lights all grow dim - and the [g] dark shadows [d] creep
And then your loved ones - are gathered to [a7] weep
Can you [g] face them and [d] say - with [g] your dying [d] breath
That you're ready to meet - the [a7] angel of [d] death.
Chorus

I Wish I Had A Nickel
(g) they tell me little darlin,
That to- (c) morrow youll be (g) wed,
You thought that you would hurt me,
But you (a7) hurt yourself in- (d7) stead,
Ill (g) always be the same old pal,
Just (c) as in years gone (g) by,
Ill (c) just set back and (g) watch you,
While you (d7) set alone and (g) cry.
Chorus:
(g) tears fallin (c) down your pretty (g) cheeks,
Tears you cannot hide and (a7) tears you cannot (d7) keep,
(g) **they** are tears of sorrow and (c) tears of de- (g) light,
I wish I had a nickel, for every (d7) tear you shed last (g) night.
I just dropped by to tell you that I wish you happi-ness,
I hope that youll forgive me for in-truding like this,
I hope my dear your happiness will follow through the years,
Ill just set back and watch you, while you shed those bitter tears.

Words and music by hank williams, sr.
Capo: 2nd fret key: e play: d
Like a [d] bird thats [d7] lost its mate in [g] flight
Im a-[a7] lone and oh, so blue to-[d] night
Like a piece of [d7] driftwood on the [g] sea
May you [a7] never be alone like [d] me.
I believed the [d7] lies you told to [g] me
When you [a7] whispered, dear, I worship [d] thee!
Now here am [d7] I alone and [g] blue
All be-[a7] cause I loved no one but [d] you.
I gave up my [d7] friends, I left my [g] home
When you [a7] promised to be mine a-[d] lone
Now youre gone, our [d7] love could never [g] be
May you [a7] never be alone like [d] me.
In the bible, [d7] gods own words do [g] say
For [a7] evry wrong some day youll [d] pay
I pray the [d7] lord to set me [g] free
May you [a7] never be alone like [d] me.

Lonely Tombs
(e) I was strollin one day, in a lonely graveyard,
When a voice from the tomb, seemed to (b7) say,
I once (e) lived as you live, walked and talked as you talk,
But from earth I was (b7) soon called a- (e) way.
Chorus
(e) oh, those tombs, (oh those tombs),
Lonely tombs, (lonely tombs ),
Seemed to say in a low gentle (b7) tone,
Oh how (e) sweet, (oh how sweet),
Is the rest, (is the rest),
In our beautiful, (b7) heavenly (e) home.
Every voice from the tomb, seemed to whisper and say,
Livin man you must soon follow me,
And I thought as I gazed, on that cold marble slab,
What a sad lonesome place that must be.
Repeat chorus
I then came to the place, where my mother did lay,
And her voice, soft and low, from the tomb,
It said, son Im at rest, with the savior above,
I am safe in my heavenly home.

Someday Youll Call My Name
Recorded by hank williams, sr.
Written by jean branch and eddie hill
Someday youll [f] call my name and I wont [bb] answer
Someday youll [f] reach for me I wont be [c7] there
For youve grown [f] tired of all the love I [bb] gave you
But some-[f] day youll [c7] wish that I still [f] care.
[c7] all these years how Ive [f] loved you
Still I [g] know I claim you for my [c7] own
Someday youll [f] call my name and I wont [bb] answer
For some-[f] day youll [c7] find yourself a-[f] lone.
When you hair has turned from gold to silver
And your eyes are dimmed by passing years
Youll remember darling what I told you
Therell be no one then to dry your tears.
Therell come a time in your life dear
When youll need someone who will care
Someday youll call my name and I wont answer
For someday youll find that Im not there.

No One To Welcome Me Home
Recorded by hank williams, sr.
Words and music by joe earls
[e] I went to the old home --- where I [a] once used to [e] roam
And all of my friends --- had [f#] evryone [b7] gone
How [e] sad and how drear --- no [a] voice did I [e] hear
There was no one --- to [b7] welcome me [e] home.
[e] no one --- to welcome me home;
Oh! no, no one --- to [f#] welcome me [b7] home
How [e] sad and how drear --- no [a] voice could I [e] hear
There was no one --- to [b7] welcome me [e] home.
I went to the old school --- where I once loved to play
And all of my playmates had every one gone
So lonesome and drear --- no voice did I hear
There was no one --- to welcome me home.
No one - to welcome me home
There was one --- to welcome me home
But, when I behold --- that mansion of gold
Therell be someone --- to welcome me home.
