VERSE:

C/GC/G
There's a man goin' 'round takin' names.

An' he decides who to free and who to blame.

Everybody won't be treated all the same.
                    A minorAm   FF   G+G      C/GC/G
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down. When the man comes around.
C/GC/G
The hairs on your arm will stand up.

At the terror in each sip and in each sup.

For you partake of that last offered cup,
                  A minorAm
Or disappear into the potter's ground.
  FF   G+G       C majorC
When the man comes around.

CHORUS:

C majorC                C3
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.
C majorC                C3
One hundred million angels singin'.
C majorC                     G+G
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum.

Voices callin', voices cryin'.

Some are born an' some are dyin'.
                 C majorC
It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.
    FF          C majorC
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
  C/GC/G
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
  FF          C majorC
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
   C/GC/G
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

VERSE:

C/GC/G
Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom.

Then the father hen will call his chickens home.

The wise men will bow down before the throne.
                     A minorAm
And at his feet they'll cast their golden crown.
  FF   G+G      C/GC/G
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.
                  A minorAm
Listen to the words long written down,
  FF   G+G       C majorC
When the man comes around.

CHORUS:

C majorC                C3
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.
C majorC                C3
One hundred million angels singin'.
C majorC                     G+G
Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettle drum.

Voices callin', voices cryin'.

Some are born an' some are dyin'.
                 C majorC
It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.
    FF          C majorC
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
C/GC/G
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
  FF          C majorC
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
C/GC/G
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
                    A minorAm
In measured hundredweight and penny pound.
  FF   G+G       C majorC
When the man comes around.
