[OPENING SPOKEN LYRICS:]
N.C."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 1]
C/GThere's a man goin' 'round takin' names
C/GAnd he decides who to free and who to blame
C/GEverybody won't be treated all the same
C/GThere'll be a golden ladder reachin' downAm
WhFen the Gman comes aC/Ground
C/GThe hairs on your arm will stand up
C/GAt the terror in each sip and in each sup
C/Gwill you partake of that last offered cup
C/GOr disappear onto the potter's ground?Am
WhFen the Gman comes aC/Ground
[CHORUS 1]
CHear the trumpets hear the pipersCadd4
COne hundred million angels singin' Cadd4
CMultitudes are marchin' to the big kettleGdrum
GVoices callin', voices cryin'
GSome are born and some are dyin'
GIt's alpha and omega's kingdom comeC
And the whFirlwind is in the Cthorn tree
The virgC/Gins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlFwind is in the Cthorn tree
It's harC/Gd for thee to kick against the pricks
[Verse 2]
C/GTill armageddon no shalam, no shalom
C/GThen the father hen will call his chickens home
C/GThe wise men will bow down before the throne
C/GAnd at his feet they'll cast their golden crownsAm
WhFen the Gman comes aC/Ground
C/GWhoever is unjust let him be unjust still
C/GWhoever is righteous let him be righteous still
C/GWhoever is filthy let him be filthy still
C/GListen to the words long written downAm
WhFen the Gman comes aC/Ground
[CHORUS 2]
CHear the trumpets hear the pipers Cadd4
COne hundred million angels singin'Cadd4
CMultitudes are marchin' to the big kettleGdrum
GVoices callin', voices cryin'
GSome are born and some are dyin'
GIt's alpha and omega's kingdom comeC
And the whFirlwind is in the Cthorn tree
The virgiC/Gns are all trimming their wicks
The whirlFwind is in the Cthorn tree
C/GIt's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
[Verse 3]
C/GIn measured hundredweight and penny poundAm
WhFen the Gman comes aC/Ground
[Ending]

[ENDING SPOKEN LYRICS:]
N.C."And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
N.C. And I looked, and behold a pale horse
And his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him
