The Man Comes Around Johnny Cash
There's a [C]man goin' round takin' names[C] [C]
And he decides who to free and who to blame[C] [C]
Everybody won't be treated all the same[C] [C]
There'll be a golden ladder reaching [am]down[am] [F]
When the [G]Man comes a[C]round [C] [C] [C]
The h[C]airs on your arm will stand up[C] [C]
At the terror in each sip and in each sup[C] [C]
Will you partake of that last offered cup[C] [C]
Or disappear into the potters' g[am]round[am] [F]
When the [G]Man comes a[C]round [C] [C]
Chorus:
H[C]ear the trumpets, hear the pipers [C] [C]
Onehundred million angels singing [C] [C]
Multitudes are marching to the b[F]ig kettle dr[G]um[G]
Voices calling voices crying [G] [G]
Some are born and some are dying [G] [G]
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom c[C]ome. [C]
And the wh[F]irlwind is in the th[C]orntree [C] [C]
And the virgins are all trimming their wicks[C] [C]
The wh[F]irlwind is in the th[C]orntree [C]
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks [C] [C]
instr: C C
'Till arma[C]geddon no shalam no shalome[C] [C]
Then the father-hen will call his chickens ho[C]me [C]
The wise men will bow down before the throne[C] [C]
And at his feet they'll cast their golden [am]cro[am]wns[F]
When the [G]Man comes a[C]round [C] [C]
Whoever is un[C]just let him be unjust still[C]
Whoever is [C]righteous let him be righteous still[C]
Whoever is [C]filthy let him be filthy still[C]
Listen to the words long written [am]down[am] [F]
When the [G]Man comes a[C]round [C] [C]
(repeat chorus)
In m[C]easured hundredweight and pennyp[am]ound[am] [F]
When the M[G]an comes ar[C]ound.

Outro: (spoken)
And I heard a voice amidst of the four beasts,
and I looked and behold a pale horse and his name
that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him.
