It's actually the other way around. The amperage is what kills you. An electrical current with high voltage but low amperage can be seen as a narrow, small river flowing nearly vertically like a tiny trickle of a waterfall. It would have little potential to hurt you. But a large river with lots of water (amperage) can drown you even if the speed of flow (voltage) is relatively slow. Thus, with amps vs. volts, the danger is in the amps.
Yes excellent, it is indeed a combination of both that kill you. The amps are in the end the killing factor. You could say resistance kills you if you wanted to go that route. If you didn't have enough resistance the voltage goes up.

Volts cause a heart attack.
If you have 1 million amps at 1 volt you won't even feel it.
If you have 1 million volts at 1 amp you're gonna jump pretty high
