{Intro} G {Verse 1}
G                                 C                G
Way back in the days of mo, water covered all this land

                                           A           D
Then the great rainbow of promise, started us on life again

        G                                 C                   G
And the good book tells of fire that will fill the earth some day

                                          D                 G
And the sinful will be screaming, as this earth shall pass away
{Chorus}
                                               C                G
When the fire comes down from heaven, this old world will melt away

                                                 D          G
Millions then will cry for mercy, but it will be to late to pray
{Verse 2}
                                      C              G
Oh this world is at a tremble and its rocking to and fro

                                       A          D
You can read it in the papers, hear it on the radio

        G                                  C               G
And the movies they are showing, towns and cities how they blaze

                                        D               G
But there's hotter fire a coming, if we follow sins highway
{Chorus}
                                               C                G
When the fire comes down from heaven, this old world will melt away

G
Millions then will cry for mercy, but it will be to late to pray
[Break] | G | G | G | G | {Verse 3}
                              C             G
Texas City, Texas City oh how awful was her faith

                                            A              D
First she burned and then exploded, now the story you'll relate

       G                             C                   G
Of the wine crop in Atlanta how she, burned right to the ground

                                     D             G
Of the great fire of Chicago and the dead lay all around
{Outro}
                                                   C                G
But when the fire comes down from heaven, this old world will melt away

                                                    D            G
Millions then will cry for mercy, but it will be to late to pray-ay
