City Down Below

[Bm]Well once upon a wilderness in Can[A]aan's promise l[Bm]and
God revealed to Abraham the jud[F#m]gment he had planned
For the wi[Bm]cked fallen people there who l[A]ived there in the b[Bm]ale
He was go[A]ing to rain a city wide with bri[F#m]mstone and h[Bm]ail

(Verse 2)
[Bm]Now looking over Sodom with a clea[A]r unhindered vi[Bm]ew
Abraham stepped forward to ask [F#m]God if he ought to
Pointing o[Bm]ut the chance that there might[A] be an upright man [Bm]
Liv[A]ing there is Sodom dear old Abraham be[F#m]gan

(Chorus)
[Bm]Would you give them one more c[F#m]hance father plea[A]se
[Bm]For I know they've sinned agai[F#m]nst your just dec[A]rees
[Bm]But if there's 50 righ[F#m]teous men
would you s[A]top and think ag[F#m]ain
would you sp[G]are that ci[A]ty down be[Bm]low (down below)
would you sp[G]are that wi[A]cked city [Bm]down below

(Verse 3)
[Bm]Well the mighty Lord agreed to this and s[A]aid he'd stay his h[Bm]and
If the said amount of righteous men were li[F#m]ving in the land
So enc[Bm]ouraged by this guarantee and fo[A]und mercy k[Bm]ind
Abr[A]aham went further still for his changed his [F#m]mind

(Chorus)
[Bm]Would you give them one more c[F#m]hance father plea[A]se
[Bm]For I know they've sinned agai[F#m]nst your just dec[A]rees
[Bm]But if there's 40 righ[F#m]teous men
would you s[A]top and think ag[F#m]ain
would you sp[G]are that ci[A]ty down be[Bm]low (down below)
would you sp[G]are that wi[A]cked city [Bm]down below

(Verse 4)
[Bm]This request was granted surely mig[A]hty God had spoken [Bm]true
He'd forgive them all the folly if he f[F#m]ound a holy few
But Ab[Bm]raham protested there might [A]be a couple l[Bm]ess
Ple[A]ase don't be angry if I make another g[F#m]uess

(Chorus)
[Bm]Would you give them one more c[F#m]hance father plea[A]se
[Bm]For I know they've sinned agai[F#m]nst your just dec[A]rees
[Bm]But if there's 30, 20,[F#m] 10
would you s[A]top and think ag[F#m]ain
would you sp[G]are that ci[A]ty down be[Bm]low (down below)
would you sp[G]are that wi[A]cked city [Bm]down below

(Bridge)
[Bm]Well nowadays it seems we can d[A]o just as we pl[Bm]ease
[Bm]An no one's gonna stop us now or fo[F#m]rce us to our knees
It see[Bm]ms like we've forgotten that[A] the God of C[Bm]annan's land
Is [A]still the judge in heaven holding mercy in His [F#m]hand

(Outtro)
[Bm]So would you give us one more [F#m]chance father ple[A]ase
[Bm]For I know we've sinned agains[F#m]t your just decre[A]es
[Bm]But if save these brok[F#m]en men
We'll rise [A]up to walk again[F#m]
would you sa[G]ve this cit[A]y down bel[Bm]ow (down below)
would you sa[G]ve this wic[A]ked city d[Bm]own below
