Story behind the song
The song by Johnny Cash "Man In Black" gave me the message for Man In White. Cause you see, you can't wear Black in Heaven, so Johnny becomes the Man IN White.
Lyrics
“THE MAN IN WHITE”
(Capo 1 play G) Play song alternating the picking from the root and the 5th
of the chord, and strumming, root-strum, 5th–strum, which makes the
boom-chicka-boom sound.
V1 well, Johnny Cash, no longer wears black
a suit of white is now on his back
st peter gave him a white guitar/ that plays a
happy tone
well, now you know the reason why everything black
is gone
V2 he wears white for all the believers, still down
below
it’s a symbol just to let them know
he wears white for those who are lost and have
never tried
to understand why Jesus came to earth and
died
CHORUS: oh, it’s a site to see, the man in white,
yeah, he’s the man in white,
V3 he wears white so we all can see
that he’s talking bout Jesus, straight to you and me
about the only way out, is the way through
to Jesus and the kingdom, built for me and you
CHORUS
V4 he wears white/ till those that died in Jesus/
come to heaven’s door
where he’ll greet them and say welcome home forever
more
he’ll be the one out front saying everything’s
gonna be alright
but till then, he’ll be the man/ in white
REPEAT CHORUS & TAG he’s the man in white
