The Man Comes Around
By Yochanan Shekel ;-)
C
There's a man goin' ‘round takin' names
And he decides who to free and who to blame
And Everybody won't be treated all the same
( walkdown) Am F
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down
G C
When the man comes around
C
The hairs on your arm will stand up
At the terror in each sip and in each sup
Will you partake of that last offered cup?
( walkdown) Am F
Or disappear into the potters' ground
G C
When the man comes around
C
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
C
One hundred million angels singing
F G
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum
G
Voices calling voices crying
G
Some are born and some of dying
C
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come
F C
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
C
And the virgins are all trimming their wicks
F C
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
C
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
C
'Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom
Then the father-hen will call his chickens home
The wise men will bow down before the throne
( walkdown) Am F
And at His feet they'll cast their golden crowns
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
( walkdown) Am F
Listen to the words long written down
G C
When the man comes around
C Am F
In measured hundredweight and pennypound
G C
When the man comes around
