(Verse 1)
B5                                A5              B5
Well once upon a wilderness in Canaan's promise land
                               F#5
God revealed to Abraham the judgment he had planned
          B5                            A5                  B5
For the wicked fallen people there who lived there in the bale
         A5                               F#5         B5
He was going to rain a city wide with brimstone and hail


(Verse 2)
B5                                A5              B5
Now looking over Sodom with a clear unhindered view
                               F#5
Abraham stepped forward to ask God if he ought to
          B5                            A5                  B5
Pointing out the chance that there might be an upright man
   A5                                     F#5
Living there is Sodom dear old Abraham began


(Chorus)
B5                            F#5              A5
Would you give them one more chance father please
B5                            F#5              A5
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
B5                    F#5
But if there's 50 righteous men
           A5               F#5
would you stop and think again
            G5          A5         B5
would you spare that city down below (down below)
            G5          A5         B5
would you spare that wicked city down below


(Verse 3)
B5                                       A5                  B5
Well the mighty Lord agreed to this and said he'd stay his hand
                                           F#5
If the said amount of righteous men were living in the land
      B5                              A5          B5
So encouraged by this guarantee and found mercy kind
   A5                                           F#5
Abraham went further still for his changed his mind


(Chorus)
B5                            F#5              A5
Would you give them one more chance father please
B5                            F#5              A5
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
B5                    F#5
But if there's 40 righteous men
           A5               F#5
would you stop and think again
            G5          A5         B5
would you spare that city down below (down below)
            G5          A5         B5
would you spare that wicked city down below


(Verse 4)
B5                                 A5                  B5
This request was granted surely mighty God had spoken true
                                       F#5
He'd forgive them all the folly if he found a holy few
      B5                          A5            B5
But Abraham protested there might be a couple less
   A5                                     F#5
Please don't be angry if I make another guess


(Chorus)
B5                            F#5              A5
Would you give them one more chance father please
B5                            F#5              A5
For I know they've sinned against your just decrees
B5                    F#5
But if there's 30, 20, 10
           A5               F#5
would you stop and think again
            G5          A5         B5
would you spare that city down below (down below)
            G5          A5         B5
would you spare that wicked city down below


(Bridge)
B5                             A5              B5
Well nowadays it seems we can do just as we please
B5                                 F#5
An no one's gonna stop us now or force us to our knees
      B5                          A5            B5
It seems like we've forgotten that the God of Cannan's land
   A5                                              F#5
Is still the judge in heaven holding mercy in His hand


(Outtro)
B5                            F#5              A5
So would you give us one more chance father please
B5                            F#5              A5
For I know we've sinned against your just decrees
B5                    F#5
But if save these broken men
           A5               F#5
We'll rise up to walk again
            G5          A5         B5
would you save this city down below (down below)
            G5          A5         B5
would you save this wicked city down below
