The Man Comes Around – Johnny Cash
Nghệ sĩ: Johnny Cash
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
NB: The song has a piano playing some bass notes in parts, no need to play them on guitar.
C/G chord is : 332010 (just a regular C, with the G on the 6th string)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Playing notes: the rhythm in the verse lines is hard to explain, but if you listen
you will know, it's just basically playing the chord then muting the strings, this
goes for all the C/G chord, until you reach the Am, when you strum without muting.)
The ** bit, is the transition for the strumming pattern with the muting to the Am chord:
e|----------0------------|
B|----------1------------|
G|----------2------------|
D|----------2------------|
A|-3--2--0--0------------|
E|-----------------------|
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
---------
There's a man, goin' 'round, takin' names
And he decides, who to free, and who to blame
Everybody, won't be treated, all the same
There'll be a golden ladder, reaching down
When the man comes around
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?
Or disappear, into the potter's ground?
When the man comes around
(playing notes: the chorus is played without muted strumming pattern of the verse)
--------
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singin'
Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettledrum
Voices callin', voices cryin'
Some are born and some are dyin'
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come
(playing notes: only the C/G part is played with the verse strum pattern, and the
other lines are played normally)
--------
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
And the virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
---------
Till Armageddon, no shalam, no shalom
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 crowns…
When the man comes around
Whoever 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 down
When the man comes around
--------
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettledrum
Voices callin', voices cryin'
Some are born and some are dyin'
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come
--------
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
And the virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
In measured a hundredweight and penny pound
When the man comes around
