City Down Below Chords

(ver. 1)
The Willis Clan
Am                             G                 Am
Well once upon a wilderness in Canaan's promised land
Am                          E
God revealed to Abraham the judgment he had planned
        Am                               G                 Am
For the wicked, fallen people there who lived down in the bale
        G                                 Em         Am
He was going to rain a city wide with brimstone and hail

 Am                           G                 Am
Now looking over Sodom with a clear unhindered view
Am                              E
Abraham stepped forward to ask God if he ought to
 Am                                       G            Am
Pointing out the chance that there might be an upright man
  G                                     E
Living there in Sodom dear old Abraham began

Am                           C               G
Would you give them one more chance, Father, please?
Am                         C                  G
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
Am                    C
But if there's 50 righteous men
          G              E
Will you stop and think again?
             F        G         Am
Would you spare that city down below (down below)?
            F         G                 Am
Would you spare that wicked city down below?

         Am                             G                  Am
Well the mighty Lord agreed to this and said he'd stay his hand
Am                                       E             
If the said amount of righteous men were living in the land
Am                                  G            Am
So encouraged by this guarantee and vow of mercy kind
G                                                E
Abraham went further still, before he changed his mind

Am                           C               G
Would you give them one more chance, Father, please?
Am                         C                  G
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
Am                    C
But if there's 40 righteous men
          G              E
Will you stop and think again?
             F        G         Am
Would you spare that city down below (down below)?
            F         G                 Am
Would you spare that wicked city down below?

Am                                      G              Am
This request was granted; surely mighty God had spoken true
Am                                      E
He'd forgive them all the folly if they found a holy few
Am                                G           Am
But Abraham protested there might be a couple less
G                                            E
God, please don't be angry if I make another guess

Am                           C               G
Would you give them one more chance, Father, please?
Am                         C                  G
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
Am                     C
But if there's 30, 20, 10
          G              E
Will you stop and think again?
             F        G         Am
Would you spare that city down below (down below)?
            F         G                 Am
Would you spare that wicked city down below?

Am                            G              Am
Well nowadays it seems we can do just as we please
Am                                 E
And no one's gonna stop us now or force us to our knees
    Am                                  G               Am
It seems like we've forgotten that the God of Canaan's land
    G                                              E
Is still the judge in heaven holding mercy in His hand

Am                           C               G
Would you give us one more chance, Father, please?
Am                         C                  G
For I know we've sinned against your just decrees
Am                            C
But if you save these broken men
           G           E
We'll rise up to walk again
             F        G         Am
Would you spare that city down below (down below)?
            F         G                 Am
Would you spare that wicked city down below?
