Intro
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
CThere's a man going around taking names
Cand he decides who to free and who to blame
Cevery body won't be treated all the same
C C-B-Am Am-G-F
there will be a golden ladder reaching down
When thGe man coCmes around
CThe hairs on your arm will stand up
Cat the terror in each sip and each sup
Cwill you partake of that last offered cup
C C-B-Am Am-G-F
Or disappear into the potter's ground
When theG man comCes around
Chorus:
CHear the trumpets hear the pipers
Cone hundred million angels singing
C F-C-G
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
GVoices calling and voices crying
GSome are born and some are dying
GIts alpha Gan

ngdCom come AndF the whCirlwind is in the thorn treeCThe virgins are all trimming their wicks
ThFe whirlwind Cis in the thorn tree
CIt's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
CTill Armageddon no shalam no shalom
CThen the father hen will call his chickens home
CThe wise man will bow down before the throne
C C-B-Am Am-G-F
and at his feet they will cast the golden crowns
When thGe man comes Caround
CWhoever is unjust let him be unjust to
CWhoever is righteous let him be righteous to
CWhoever is filthy let him be filthy still
C C-B-Am Am-G-F
Listen to the words long written down
When the Gman comes Caround

Cone hundred million angels singing

Outro
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.
