The Man Comes Around chords by Johnny Cash (Ver. 2)

Spoken:
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.


C
There's a man goin' round takin' names

And he decides who to free and who to blame

Everybody won't be treated all the same
             (walkdown) Am  F
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down
     G     C
When the man comes around

The hairs on your arm will stand up
At the terror in his sip and in his sup
Will you partake of that last offered cup
Or disappear into the potters' ground
When the man comes around

C
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
C
One hundred million angels singing
                F     G
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum
G
Voices calling voices crying
G
Some are born and some of dying
                C
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdome come



    F          C
And the whirlwind is in the thorntree
C
And the virgins are all trimming their wicks
  F          C    C
The whirlwind is in the thorntree
C
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks


'Till Armageddon no shalam no shalome
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 crowns
When the man 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 down
When the man comes around

Chorus

  C                Am  F
In measured pennyweight and hundredpound
     G     C
When the man comes around.



And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts,
And I looked and behold: a pale horse.
And his name, that sat on him, was Death.
