There's a (C major) man goin' 'round takin' names

Verse 2
The hairs on your arm (C major) will stand up
At the terror in each sip and in each sup
Will (C major) you partake of that last offered cup
Or disappear into the
potter's (C major) ground? (A minor)
(F major) When the man (G major) comes around (C major)
Chorus 1
(C major) Hear the trumpets hear hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singin'
(C major) Multitudes are marchin' to the
(F major) big (C major) kettledrum (G major)
Voices callin', voices cryin'
Some are born and some are dyin'
It's alpha and omega's kingdom (C major) come
And the whirlwind (F major) is in the thorn (C major) tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind (F major) is in the thorn (C major) tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Verse 3
Till armageddon (C major) no shalam, no shalom
Then the father hen will call his
chickens home
The wise (C major) man will bow down
before the throne
And at his feet
they'll cast their golden (C major) crowns (A minor)
(F major) When the man (G major) comes around (C major)
Verse 4
Whoever (C major) is unjust let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be
righteous still
Whoever (C major) is filthy let him be filthy still
Listen to the words long (C major) written down (A minor)
(F major) When the man (G major) comes around (C major)
Chorus 2
(C major) Hear the trumpets hear hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singin'
(C major) Multitudes are marchin' to the
(F major) big (C major) kettledrum (G major)
Voices callin', voices cryin'
Some are born and some are dyin'
It's alpha and omega's kingdom (C major) come
And the whirlwind (F major) is in the thorn (C major) tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind (F major) is in the thorn (C major) tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
In measured hundredweight and
penny pound (A minor)
(F major) When the man (G major) comes around (C major)
(C major) (C major) (C major)
"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
