I’ve transcribed it as they play it in (A) using a capo on the second fret
and playing G-shaped chords.
Are You Afraid to Die?
G D G
Are you a stranger to God?
C D
Carried away with your pride?
G C
Tell me sinner did you ever stop to think,
G D G
Are you afraid to die?
(Instrumental Bridge) G/D/G
Call on him while he is near.
Moments are swift passing by.
Will you seek him while he may be found?
Are you afraid to die?
Refrain:
C G D G
Are you afraid, are you unsaved?
D G
Are you afraid to die?
(Instrumental Bridge) G/D/G
Are you too wicked to cry?
Would you to God’s bosom fly?
Soon he’s coming like a thief in the night,
Are you afraid to die?
(Refrain 2X)
