The Man Comes Around
Johnny Cash
C/GThere's a man, goin' 'round, takin' names
C/GAnd he decides, who to free, and who to blame
C/GEverybody, won't be treated, all the same
CThere'll be a golden ladder, reaching downAm
FWhen the Gman comes arounC/Gd
C/GThe hairs, on your arm, will stand up
C/GAt the terror, in each sip, and in each sup
C/GWill you partake of that last offered cup?
C/GOr disappear, into the potter's groundAm?
FWhen the Gman comes arounC/Gd
CHear the trumpets, hear the pipers
COne hundred million angels singin'
CMultitudes are marchin' to the Fbig CkettleGdrum
GVoices callin', voices cryin'
GSome are born and some are dyin'
GIt's Alpha and Omega's kingdom Ccome

CAnd the Fwhirlwind is in the Cthorn tree
And the C/Gvirgins are all trimming their wicks
The Fwhirlwind is in the Cthorn tree
It's C/Ghard for thee to kick against the pricks
C/GTill Armageddon, no shalam, no shalom
C/GThen the father hen will call his chickens home
C/GThe wise men will bow down before the throne
C/GAnd at his feet they'll cast their golden Amcrowns
FWhen the Gman comes aroundC/G
C/GWhoever is unjust, let him be unjust still
C/GWhoever is righteous, let him be righteous still
C/GWhoever is filthy, let him be filthy still
C/GListen to the words long written downAm
