There's a man going round taking names,
and he decides who to free and who to blame.
Everybody will be treated all the same.
There'll be a golden ladder reaching [Am] down
[F] [G] when the man comes [C] around.
The hairs on your arm will stand up

_ _ _ And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder.
One of the four beasts sang, Come and see.
And I saw, and behold, a white horse.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
There's a man going round taking names, _
and he decides who to free and who to blame. _ _
Everybody will be treated all the same. _
There'll be a golden ladder reaching [Am] down _ _ _
[F] _ [G] when the man comes [C] around. _ _ _
_ _ The hairs on your arm will stand up
at the terror in each sip and in each suck.
Will you partake of that last offered cup
or disappear into [B] the potter's [Am] ground
_ _ _ [F] when [G] the man comes [C] around?
_ _ Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers,
_ one hundred million angels singing. _
_ _ Multitudes are marching to [F] the [Em] big [G] kettle drum.
_ Voices calling, voices crying.
_ _ _ Some are born and some are dying.
_ _ It's Alpha and Omega's [C] kingdom come.
And [F] the whirlwind is in [C] the thorn tree.
_ The virgins are all trimming their wigs.
_ _ [F] The whirlwind is in the [C] thorn tree.
It's hard for thee to kick against the priest.
_ _ _ _ Till Armageddon, no shalom, no shalom.
_ Then the father hen will call his chickens home.
_ The wise men will bow down before the throne.
_ _ And at his feet they'll cast their [Am] golden crowns
_ _ [F] _ [G] when the man comes [C] around.
_ _ Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.
Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.
_ Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
Listen to the words long written [Am] down
_ when [G] the man [C] comes around.
_ _ _ Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers,
_ _ one hundred million angels singing. _
_ _ _ Multitudes are marching [F] to the [C] big [G] kettle drum.
_ _ Voices calling, voices crying.
_ _ _ Some are born and some are dying. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] And [F] the whirlwind is [C] in the thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wigs.
_ _ [F] The whirlwind [C] is in the thorn tree.
It's hard for thee to kick against the priest.
_ In measured a hundred weight and [Am] ten pounds. _
_ _ [F] When [G] the man comes [C] around, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts.
And I looked [G] and behold, a pale horse.
And his name that sat on him was Death.
I followed with him.
