Death In The Morning chords by
Phil Alvin
Phil Alvin

N/A
Verse 1
G

Well, it makes no difference what part

of the world a man or woman are

When death lay hands upon you, my friend,

you'll think about your dear old mother

And she won't pass you by,

she'll do all the good she can

Sing, mother, sing, well,

the doctor's driven up to my gate

Believe my child,

you have waited too late

Fever now's 102,
C
G

you have nary a chance you'd ever pull through

Then please death,

please have death in the morning
C

Please death,
G

waste family life just another year

Now just like a child will do

Think about mother when you get in trouble

I heard the child say

Mother, mother won't you come

down to my bed

Place a cold towel upon my head

My head is warm, my feet so cold

Death's got a shackle on my soul

Please death,

please not death in the morning
C
G

Please death, waste family life,

just another year

Mother

Blanche screamin' and cryin'

Death, my

Charlie's young,

hasn't had any pleasurable life

Spare him just a little while longer,

I heard death say

Mother, mother, the old and young

Rich and poor,

to the judgment they must go

Who says all your silver

and all your gold

Nothing satisfies me but your soul

And please death,

please not death in the morning
C
G

Please death, waste family life,

just another year

Mother ran away screaming and crying

Death and the child stood alone

I heard the child say to death

Lookie here death,

what you doing to me

Fixin' my eyes so I can't see

Chillin' my tongue where I can't talk

Fixin' my feet where I can't walk

Foldin' my arms and

leavin' me cold

Robbin' my body and my poor soul

And please, death

Please not death in the morning
C

Please, death
G

Well, spare my little life
C
G

Just another year

I heard death say to the child

I've got your number

Seen your days passin' gone,

you had your chance

You saw good people now

workin' and slavin'

You wouldn't help, you walked away

You wouldn't lend a hand,

you wouldn't bend your knee
C

Now you've got to come and go with me
G

Well, please, death

Please, not death in the mornin'
C

Please, death
G

Well, stay my little life
C
G

Just another year

you

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
