  [Em]    [Em7]   [Em6]     [Emb6]

  [Em]My [Em7]death waits like [Em6]

  [Emb6]an old [Em]drouin (?) [Em7]

  So [Em6]confident  [Emb6]

  I'll go his [Em]way

  

  [Em7]Whistle to [Em6]him

  [Emb6]and the [D]passing time [Dsus4]  [D]

  [G]My death waits [A]like

  [G]a Bible [C]truth

  at the [F]funeral of my [Am]youth [Am/G]

  oh we [F]drank for that

  and the [G]passing time

  

  [G#m]My death waits like [F#]

  a witched [G#m]night

  as [F#]surely as our love is [G#m]bright

  let's not [F#]think about the [B]passing time

  

  [Em]But whatever lies [D]behind the door  [C]

  there is nothing much to [B]do

  [Em]Angel or Devil [D]I don't care  [C]     [C/B]

  For in front [Am]of that [Am/G]door there is you[B]    [Bb]     [C#]  [Gm] 

  [Gm]My death waits like a beggar blind

  who sees the world through an unled mind

  throw him a dime for the [F]passing time

  

  [Bb]My death waits [C#]there between your [Bb]thighs

  Your cold [G#]fingers will close my [Cm]eyes

  Let's [G#]think of that

  And the [Bb]passing time

  

  

  [Bm]My death waits  [A]

  to allow my [Bm]friend

  a [A]few good  times 

  before it [Bm]ends

  so let's [A]drink to that

  and the [F#]passing time

  

  [G]but whatever lies [F]behind the door      [Eb]

  there is nothing much to [D]do     [G]

  Angel or Devil [F]I don't care [Eb]

  for in front of that door 

  there is [D]you 

  

  [Gm]My death waits there among the leaves

  in magicians mysterious sleeves

  rabbits and dogs and the [F]passing time

  

  [Bb]My death waits [C#]there

  among the [Bb]flowers

  where the [G#]blackest shadow [C#m]cowers

  Let's pick [G#]lilacs for the [Bb]passing time

  

  [Bm]My death waits [A]there 

  in a double [Bm]bed 

  sails [A]of oblivion

  at my [Bm]head 

  so pull up your [A]seats against 

  the [F#]passing time

  

  [Gm]But whatever lies [F]behind the door [Eb]

  there is nothing [D]much to do   [Gm]

  Angel or Devil [F]

  I don't care  [Eb]

  for in front of that door....... there is
