And I heard as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying,
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 won't be treated all the same.
_ _ There'll be a golden ladder reaching [Am] there,
_ _ _ [F] When [G] the man [C] comes around. _ _ _ _ _
_ The hairs on your arm will stand up,
_ At the terror in each hip and in each [G] top.
_ _ Will you partake of that last stuffered cup,
_ _ Or disappear into the potter's [Am] ground,
_ _ _ [F] When [G] the man [C] comes around?
_ _ _ Hear the trumpet, hear the piper,
_ _ One hundred million angels singing.
_ _ _ _ Multitudes are marching to that [Em] big carol [G] drum.
_ _ Voices calling, voices crying,
_ _ _ Some are born and some are dying.
_ _ _ It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom [C] come.
And [F] the whirlwind is in [C] the palm tree,
The virgins are all trimming their wigs.
_ [F] The whirlwind is [C] in the palm tree,
_ It's all for thee to kick against the bricks. _ _ _ _
_ Shalom again, no shalom, no shalom.
_ Then the father hen will call his chickens home,
_ _ The wise man will bow down before the throne,
_ _ And at his feet they'll cast their [Am] golden crown,
_ _ _ [F] When the [G] 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 down,
_ _ _ [F] When the man [C] comes around.
_ _ Hear the trumpet, hear the pipers,
_ _ One hundred million angels singing.
_ _ _ _ Multitudes are marching to that big [G] carol drum.
_ _ Voices calling, voices crying,
_ _ _ Some are born and some are dying.
_ _ It's Alpha and Omega's [C] kingdom come.
_ And the [F] whirlwind is in the palm tree,
The virgins are all trimming their wigs.
_ The whirlwind is in the palm tree,
It's all for thee to kick against the bricks.
_ And measure a hundred weight in [Am] penny, pal,
_ _ [F] _
When the man [C] comes around. _ _ _ _

_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts,
And I looked, and behold, a pale host.
In his name that sat on him was death,
And hell followed with him. _ _ _ _

Come and see.
And I saw, and behold, a white horse. _ _ _ _
