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

Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still

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

And the virgins are all trimming their wicks

It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks

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
