The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash on the album: American IV: The Man Comes Around
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
Sung:
C1 There's a man going around taking names and he decides
Who to free and who to blame every body won't be treated
All the same tAmhereF willG be a golden ladder reaching down
When the man comes around
C1 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 disappeAmar iFnto tGhe potter's ground
When the man comes around
CHOURS
C2Hear the trumpets hear the pipersC3 oC2ne hundredC3 million angels singing
C2Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum
GVoices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
C1(nm)
Its alpha and omegas kingdom come
C1(nm)
And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees
C1The virgins are all trimming their wicks
FThe whirlwind is in the thorn trees
C1It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon no shalam no shalom
Then the father hen will call his chicken's home
The wise man will bow down before the thorn and at his feet
They wilAml caFst thGe golden crowns
When the man comes around
C1Whoever 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 Amthe FwordsG long written down
When the man comes around
CHOURS
C2Hear the trumpets hear the pipersC3 oC2ne hundredC3 million angels singing
C2Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum
GVoices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
C1(nm)
Its alpha and omegas kingdom come
C1(nm)
And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees
C1The virgins are all trimming their wicks
FThe whirlwind is in the thorn trees
C1It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon no shalam no shalom
Then the father hen will call his chicken's home
The wise man will bow down before the thorn and at his feet
They wilAml caFst thGe golden crowns
When the man comes around
Spoken:
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.
