The Man Comes Around Chords by Johnny Cash

_ _ _ And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying,
Come and see.
And I saw, and [E] behold, a white horse.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
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 [Am] reaching down _
_ [F] _ when the [G] man comes [C] around. _
_ _ _ _ The hairs on your arm will stand up at the terror in each sip and in each sup.
_ Will you partake of that last offered cup _ or disappear into the potter's [Am] ground
when _ [F] _ [G] the man [C] comes around?
_ _ Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers, _ _ one hundred million angels singing.
_ _ _ _ Multitudes are marching to the big kettle [G] drum.
_ _ Voices calling, voices crying.
_ _ _ Some are born and some are dying.
The whirlwind, it's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come.
_ And the [F] whirlwind is in the [C] thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wigs.
_ _ The [F] 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 golden [Am] crown when [F] _ the man [C] comes 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 _ [F] the [G] man comes [C] around. _ _
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers, _ _ one hundred million angels singing. _ _ _
Multitudes are marching to the [G] big kettle drum.
_ _ Voices calling, voices crying. _
_ _ Some are born and some are dying. _
_ It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom [C] come. _
[F] And the whirlwind [C] is in the thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wigs. _
[F] The whirlwind is [C] in the thorn tree.
It's hard for thee to kick against the priest. _ _
In measured a hundred weight and [Am] penny pound, _ _
_ [F] when the [G] man comes [C] around. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts.
And I looked and behold, a pale horse.
[D] And his name that sat on him [F#] was Death.
And Hell followed with him. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
