The Man Comes Around

• C

C 
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) Am    F 
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down 
         G          C 
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                            C/D
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers 
C                           C/D
One hundred million angels singing 
                               F          G 
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum 
G 
Voices calling voices crying 
G 
Some are born and some of dying 
                                C 
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdome come

 
 
 
        F                   C/D
And the whirlwind is in the thorntree 
C 
And the virgins are all trimming their wicks 
    F                   C/D
The whirlwind is in the thorntree 
C 
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                               Am    F 
In measured hundred weight and pinning down 
         G          C 
When the man comes around.
