Verse 1:
           A                                   F#m 
	She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street
            D                          E
	I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet
           A                              F#m
	We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan
             D                               E             A
	But said i'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man


Verse 2:
          F#                                B                   
	I said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today
            E                                               A  
	Just to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my way
              F#                                B
	She laughed and heaven filled the room said this i give to you
             E                                                A
	This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two


Chorus:
          D        E        D      A   
	Death and hell are never full
              D              E       A
	And neither are the eyes of men
          D       E        D            A    
	Cats can fly from nine stories high
                      E        D
	And pigs can see the wind


Verse 3:
          A                            F#m
	She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor
              D                        E
	Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door
          A                              F#m                      
	The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul
             D                            E               A
	My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control

	
Verse 4:
             F#                                 B
	Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh i deal
             E                                         A
	You will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal
            F#                          B            
	I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red
              E                                          A
	The first station of the cross is just above my head
           F#                       B 
	I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed
           E                                                A      
	Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head


Chorus.

Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around
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 There's a man going around taking 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 Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling, voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom Then the father hen will call his chickens home The wise man 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 marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling and voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come ...
