The Man Comes Around Tab uke di Johnny Cash

"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]

C  
There's a man, goin' 'round, takin' names

C  
And he decides, who to free, and who to blame

C
Everybody, won't be treated, all the same

C                                     Am    F
There'll be a golden ladder, reaching down.

F         G             C
When the man comes around.


C
The hairs, on your arm, will stand up

C  
At the terror, in each sip, and each sup

C  
Will you partake of that last offered cup?

C                                Am     F       
Or disappear, into the potter's ground?

F         G            C
When the man comes around.


[Chorus]

C
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers

C
One hundred million angels singin' 

C                               F   C    G
Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettledrum

G
Voices callin', voices cryin' 

G
Some are born and some are dyin'

G                                 C
It's Alpha and Omega's Kingdom come


[Bridge]

C        F                   C
And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees

C
And the virgins are all trimming their wicks

C     F                  C
The whirlwind is in the thorn trees

C    
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks


[Second Verse]

C
Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom

C
Then the father hen will call his chickens home

C
The wise man will bow down before the throne

C                                            Am     F
And at his feet they will cast their golden crowns

F         G               C
When the man comes around.


C
Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still

C
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still

C
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still

C                                 Am   F
Listen to the words long written down

F         G              C
When the man comes around


[Chorus]

C 
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers

C
One hundred million angels singing 

C                               F   C    G
Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettledrum

G
Voices callin', voices cryin' 

G    
Some are born and some are dyin'

G                               C
It's Alpha and Omega's Kingdom come


[Bridge]

C        F                    C
And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees

C
And the virgins are all trimming their wicks

C     F                   C
The whirlwind is in the thorn trees

C  
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks


C                                     Am     F
In measured hundred weight and penny pound

F        G             C
When the Man comes around.

"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked, and behold a pale horse
And his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him"
