This probably isn't the exact way Johnny Cash plays it, but i think it sounds pretty
I use barre chords the whole song to make it sound more accurate.

Intro
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
C
There's a man going around taking names
C
and he decides who to free and who to blame
C
every body won't be treated all the same
CC-B-AmAm-G-F
there will be a golden ladder reaching down
G C
When the man comes around
C
The hairs on your arm will stand up
C
at the terror in each sip and each sup
C
will you partake of that last offered cup
CC-B-AmAm-G-F
Or disappear into the potter's ground
G C
When the man comes around
Chorus:
C
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers
C
one hundred million angels singing
C F-C-G
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
G
Voices calling and voices crying
G
Some are born and some are dying
G G - A - B - C
Its alpha and omega's kingdom come
FC
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
C
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
F C
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
C
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
C
Till Armageddon no shalam no shalom
C
Then the father hen will call his chickens home
C
The wise man will bow down before the throne
C C-B-Am Am-G-F
and at his feet they will cast the golden crowns
G C
When the man comes around
C
Whoever is unjust let him be unjust to
C
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous to
C
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
C C-B-Am Am-G-F
Listen to the words long written down
G C
When the man comes around
Chorus:
C
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers
C
one hundred million angels singing
C F-C-G
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
G
Voices calling and voices crying
G
Some are born and some are dying
G G - A - B - C
Its alpha and omega's kingdom come
FC
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
C
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
F C
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
C
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
CC-B-Am Am-G-F
In measured hundred weight and penny pound
G C
When the man comes around
Outro
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked and behold, a pale horse
And it's name it said on him was Death
And Hell followed with him.
