Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash [Verse 1] [C] 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. There'll be a golden ladder reaching [Am] down. [F] When [G] the man comes [C] around. [C] 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, Or disappear into the potter's [Am] ground. [F] When the [G] man comes around [C]. |[Chorus] |[C] Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers. |[C] One hundred million angels singin'. |[C] Multitudes are marching to the [F] big [C] kettle [G] drum. |Voices callin', voices cryin'. |Some are born an' some are dyin'. |It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom [C] come. |And the [F] whirlwind is in the [C] thorn tree. |The [C] virgins are all trimming their wicks. |The [F] whirlwind is in the [C] thorn tree. |It's [C] hard for thee to kick against the pricks. [Verse 2] [C] Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom. 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 [Am] crown. Whe[F]n the [G] man comes aro[C]und. 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 [Am] down, [F] When the [G] man comes around [C]. |[Chorus] |[C] Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers. |[C] One hundred million angels singin'. |[C] Multitudes are marchin' to the [F] big [C] kettle [G] drum. |Voices callin', voices cryin'. |Some are born an' some are dyin'. |It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom [C] come. |And the [F] whirlwind is in the [C] thorn tree. |[C] The virgins are all trimming their wicks. |The [F] whirlwind is in the [C] thorn tree. |[C] It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Outro: In measured hundredweight and penny [Am] pound. [F] When the [G] man comes around [C].
