[Verse 1]

------

C/G

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

C/G

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

C/G

Everybody, won't be treated, all the same

C                         **  Am           F

There'll be a golden ladder, reaching down.

F         G             C/G

When the man comes around.

[Verse 2]

C/G

The hairs, on your arm, will stand up

C/G

At the terror, in each sip, and each sup

C/G

Will you partake of that last offered cup?

C/G                              ** Am      F

Or disappear, into the potter's ground?

F         G            C/G

When the man comes around.

[Chorus 1]

---------------

C

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers

C

One hundred million angels singin'

C                             F   C   G

Multitudes are marchin' to a big kettledrum

Voices callin', voices cryin'

Some are born and some are dyin'

It's Alpha and Omega Kingdom come

C        F                  C

And the whirlwind  is in the thorn trees

C/G

And the virgins are all trimming their wicks

C     F                     C

The whirlwind in the thorn trees

C/G

It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks

[Verse 3]

C/G

Till Armageddon no shalom, no shalom

C/G

Then the father hen will call his chicken's home

C/G

The wise man will bow down before the throne

And at his feet they will cast the golden crowns…

F         G               C/G

When the man comes around.

[Verse 4]

Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still

C/G

Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still

C/G

Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still

Listen to the words long written down

When the man comes around
