When The Man Comes Around Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

C1

Am

F

G

Cadd9

C3

Ok, so here goes. C1 is a muted chord you just have to listen to the song

to hear the pattern. I know there are at least two guitars in this song but

this is just how I figured it out for one and it sounds ok to me.

I definitely would like any kind of feedback on this as this is my

VERY first tab work.

Enjoy! Johnny Cash is and forever shall be "THE MAN"

Below are the chord changes that have a little picking part to it.

Listen to the song and it will all make sense.

(n-m) means non-muted

....a Golden Ladder reaching down

The hairs on your arm...

....into the Potter's ground

...marching to the big kettle drum....

...it's Alpha and Omega's Kingdom come.

Ok, for the rest of the song you can basically listen and figure

out the changes the pickings are all the same. Here's the lyrics

with the chords.

THIS IS SPOKEN

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

  C1there's a man goin' round takin' names and he decides who to free

and who to blame everybody will be treated all the same

 there'll be a golden ladder reaching downAm F whGen the

man comes around

  C1the 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? or

 or disappear onto the potter's grouAmnd F G

CHORUS

  Cadd9 hear the trumpets hear the pipersC3 Cadd9one hundred million

 angels singingC3 Cadd9multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum

  Gvoices calling voices crying some are born and some are dying

 its alpha and omega's kingdom C1(nm)come F and the whirlwind is in the

 thorn tree C1the virgins are all trimming their wings Fthe

whirlwind is in the thorn tree

C1its hard for thee to kick against the pricks til armegeddon no

shalom no shalome then the father hen will call his chickens home

the wise men will bow down before the throne and at his feet

 they'll cast their golden crownsAm F whGen the man comes around

C1whoever is unjust let him be unjust still whoever is righteous

let him be righteous still whoever is filthy let him be filthy

 still listen to the words long written downAm F whGen the

man comes around

CHORUS

C1it's hard for thee to kick against the pricks in measured hundred

 weight and paid poundAm F wheGn the man comes aroundC1(nm)

THIS IS SPOKEN..

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

The final C chord ends with a strong down up
