The Man Comes Around chords by Johnny Cash

Chords with lyrics (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 majorC
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) A minorAm  FF
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down
     G+G     C majorC
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 majorC
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
C majorC
One hundred million angels singing
                FF     G+G
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum
G+G
Voices calling voices crying
G+G
Some are born and some of dying
                C majorC
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdome come


    FF          C majorC
And the whirlwind is in the thorntree
C majorC
And the virgins are all trimming their wicks
  FF          C majorC    C majorC
The whirlwind is in the thorntree
C majorC
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 majorC                A minorAm  FF
In measured pennyweight and hundredpound
     G+G     C majorC
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.
