The Man Comes Around Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
"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][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
There's a [C]man goin' 'round takin' names
And he decides who to free and who to blame
Every[C]body won't be treated all the same
There'll be a golden ladder
[C]reachin' [Am]down
[F]When the man[G] comes arou[C]nd

[Verse 2]
The hairs on your [C]arm will stand up
At the terror in each sip and in each sup
Will [C]you partake of that last offered cup
Or disappear into the
potter's [C]ground?[Am]
[F]When the man[G] comes arou[C]nd

[Chorus 1]
[C]Hear the trumpets hear hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singin'
[C]Multitudes are marchin' to the
[F]big [C]kettle[G]drum
Voices callin', voices cryin'
Some are born and some are dyin'
It's alpha and omega's kingdom [C]come
And the [F]whirlwind is in the [C]thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The [F]whirlwind is in the [C]thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks

[Verse 3]
Till arma[C]geddon no shalam, no shalom
Then the father hen will call his
chickens home
The [C]wise man will bow down
before the throne
And at his feet
they'll cast their [C]golden [Am]crowns
[F]When the man[G] comes arou[C]nd

[Verse 4]
[C]Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be
righteous still
[C]Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
Listen to the words long [C]written [Am]down
[F]When the man[G] comes arou[C]nd

[Chorus 2]
[C]Hear the trumpets hear hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singin'
[C]Multitudes are marchin' to the
[F]big [C]kettle[G]drum
Voices callin', voices cryin'
Some are born and some are dyin'
It's alpha and omega's kingdom [C]come
And the [F]whirlwind is in the [C]thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The [F]whirlwind is in the [C]thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
In measured hundredweight and
penny [Am]pound
[F]When the man[G] comes arou[C]nd
[C][C][C]
"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,
and hell followed with him
