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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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