The Man Comes Around Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

There's a [C]man goin' round takin' names[C] , [C]
And he decides who to free and who to blame[C] , [C]
Everybody won't be treated all the same[C] , [C]
There'll be a golden ladder reaching [Am]down[am] , [F]
When the [G]Man comes a[C]round[C] , [C] , [C]
The h[C]airs on your arm will stand up[C] , [C]
At the terror in his sip and in his sup[C] , [C]
Will you partake of that last offered cup[C] , [C]
Or disappear into the potters' g[Am]round[am] , [F]
When the [G]Man comes a[C]round[C] , [C]

[CHORUS]
H[C]ear the trumpets, hear the pipers[C] , [C]
Onehundred million angels singing[C] , [C]
Multitudes are marching to the b[F]ig cattle dr[G]um[G]
Voices calling voices crying[G] , [G]
Some are born and some of dying[G] , [G]
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdome c[C]ome.[C]
And the wh[F]irlwind is in the th[C]orntree[C] , [C]
And the virgins are all trimming their wicks[C] , [C]
The wh[F]irlwind is in the th[C]orntree[C]
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks[C] , [C]

[INSTRUMENTAL C]
'
Till Arma[C]geddon no shalam no shalome[C] , [C]
Then the father-hen will call his chickens ho[C]me[C]
The wise men will bow down before the throne[C] , [C]
And at his feet they'll cast their golden [Am]cro[Am]wns[F]
When the [G]Man comes a[C]round[C] , [C]
Whoever is un[C]just let him be unjust still[C]
Whoever is [C]righteous let him be righteous still[C]
Whoever is [C]filthy let him be filthy still[C]
Listen to the words long written [Am]down[am] , [F]
When the [G]Man comes a[C]round[C] , [C]

[CHORUS]

In m[C]easured hundredweight and pennyp[Am]ound[am] , [F]
When the M[G]an comes ar[C]ound.
