I haven't been able to figure out the chords for the intro or interludes, but I do know that at least
the intro chords are some species of the first verse and the interlude chords play off the chorus.
Have fun!
AmWell once upon a wilderness in GCanaan's promised Amland
AmGod revealed to Abraham the Ejudgment he had planned
For the Amwicked, fallen people there who lGived down in the bAmale
He was gGoing to rain a city wide with brimEmstone and hAmail
NAmow looking over Sodom with a Gclear unhindered vAmiew
AmAbraham stepped forward to ask GEod if he ought to
PAmointing out the chance that there might bGe an upright Amman
LiGving there in Sodom dear old Abraham bEegan
AmWould you give them one more Cchance, Father, Gplease?
AmFor I know they've sinned aCgainst your just deGcrees
AmBut if there's 50 righCteous men
Will you sGtop and think aEgain?
Would you spaFre that cGity down bAmelow (down below)?
Would you spFare that wGicked city down beAmlow?
Well the Ammighty Lord agreed to this and Gsaid he'd stay his Amhand
AmIf the said amount of righteous men were Eliving in the land
AmSo encouraged by this guarantee and Gvow of mercy Amkind
GAbraham went further still, before he changed his Emind
AmWould you give them one more Cchance, Father, Gplease?
AmFor I know they've sinned aCgainst your just deGcrees
AmBut if there's 40 righCteous men
Will you sGtop and think aEgain?
Would you spaFre that cGity down bAmelow (down below)?
Would you spFare that wGicked city down beAmlow?
AmThis request was granted; surely mighty GGod had spoken Amtrue
AmHe'd forgive them all the folly if they Efound a holy few
AmBut Abraham protested there might Gbe a couple Amless
GGod, please don't be angry if I make another Eguess
AmWould you give them one more Cchance, Father, Gplease?
AmFor I know they've sinned aCgainst your just deGcrees
AmBut if there's 30, 20, C10
Will you sGtop and think aEgain?
Would you spaFre that cGity down bAmelow (down below)?
Would you spFare that wGicked city down beAmlow?
AmWell nowadays it seems we can Gdo just as we pAmlease
AmAnd no one's gonna stop us now or fEorce us to our knees
It sAmeems like we've forgotten that the GGod of Canaan's lAmand
Is sGtill the judge in heaven holding mercy in His hEand
AmWould you give us one more chCance, Father, plGease?
AmFor I know we've sinned agaCinst your just decrGees
AmBut if you save these broken mCen
We'll rise Gup to walk aEgain
Would you spaFre that cGity down bAmelow (down below)?
Would you spFare that wGicked city down beAmlow?
