Old Pappa Death comes creeping up

Amin                 C       D                                    E7

Old Pappa Death comes creeping up

Comes creeping up, don’t make no sound

He’s gonna put you in a hole in the ground

E

Old Pappa Death comes creeping up

Amin                 C       D                 Amin

In a black sack cloak with a sickle in his hand

He rides like  demon across the land

SOLO AND MID 8 ; Verse Chords

Alone
Alone
Ten fingers
Ten toes
Between them skin and bone
A dam of woes
An abdominal scar that appears to glow in the dark
That someone once remarked
Was the shape of Borneo

Amin                                                  C       D                 Amin

They say the good go to heaven and the bad go to hell

Amin                                                  C       D                                    E7

They say the good go to heaven and the bad go to hell

Amin                                                          C       D

Heavens got birds and beaches and trees

E7

Hell, they say, is hotter by degrees

He’s gonna put you in a hole in the ground

Lyrics

Old Pappa Death comes creeping up
Old Pappa Death comes creeping up
Comes creeping up, don’t make no sound
He’s gonna put you in a hole in the ground
Old Pappa Death comes creeping up

In a black sack cloak with a sickle in his hand
He rides like  demon across the land
For your wounds you may find a healer
But all cards got to come back to the dealer
Old Pappa Death comes creeping up

O, he comes creeping up
Creeping up
Creeping up

Alone
Alone
Ten fingers
Ten toes
Between them skin and bone
A dam of woes
An abdominal scar that appears to glow in the dark
That someone once remarked
Was the shape of Borneo

They say the good go to heaven and the bad go to hell
They say the good go to heaven and the bad go to hell
Heavens got birds and beaches and trees
Hell, they say, is hotter by degrees
Old Pappa Death comes creeping up

O, he comes creeping up
Creeping up
Creeping up

Old Pappa Death comes creeping up
