Key: :[D] (w: Johnny Cash)
INTRO:
[N.C.] 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
VERSE 1:
[D] There's a man going around taking names
And he decides who to free and who to blame
Everybody won't be treated all the same
There will be a golden ladder
[/D] reach-
[/C#]-ing
[/B] [Bm] down
[G] When the
[A] man comes a-
[D]-round
VERSE 2:
[D] The hairs on your arm will stand up
At the terror in each sip and each sup
Will you partake of that last offered cup
Or disappear into the
[/D] pott-
[/C#]-er's
[/B] [Bm] ground
[G] When the
[A] man comes a-
[D]-round
CHORUS:
[D] Hear the trumpets hear the pipers, one hundred million angels singing
[D] Multitudes are marching to the
[G] big
[D] kettle-
[A]-drum
[A] Voices calling and voices crying, some are born and some are dying
[A] Its alpha and omega's
[A] king-
[/B]-dom
[/C#] come
[/D]
And the
[G] whirlwind is in
[D] the thorn tree
BRIDGE 1:
[D] The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The
[G] whirlwind is in the thorn
[D] tree
[D] It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
[D] Till Armageddon no shalam no shalom
VERSE 3:
[D] Then the father hen will call his chickens home
The wise man will bow down before the throne
And at his feet they will cast the
[/D] gold-
[/C#]-en
[/B] [Bm] crowns
[G] When the
[A] man comes a-
[D]-round
VERSE 4:
[D] Whoever is unjust let him be unjust to
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous to
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
Listen to the words long
[/D] writt-
[/C#]-en
[/B] [Bm] down
[G] When the
[A] man comes a-
[D]-round
REPEAT CHORUS:
REPEAT BRIDGE:
BRIDGE 2:
[D] The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The
[G] whirlwind is in the thorn
[D] tree
[D] It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
In measured hundred weight and
[/D] penn-
[/C#]-y
[/B] [Bm] pound
[G] When the
[A] man comes a-
[D]-round
OUTRO:
[N.C.] And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked and behold, a pale horse
And it's name it said on him was Death
And Hell followed with him.
