[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Way back in the days of Noah C G Water covered all this land G Then the great rainbow of promise A D Started up on life again G And the Good Book tells of fires C G That will fill the Earth some day G Then the sinful will be screamin' D G As this Earth shall pass away
[Chorus]
G When the fire (When the fire) G Comes down from Heaven (Comes down from Heaven) C This old world (This old world) G Will melt away (Will melt away) G Millions then (Millions then) G Will cry for mercy (Will cry for mercy) G But it will be (But it will be) D G Too late to pray
[Verse 2]
G Oh this world is at a tremble C G And it's rocking to and fro G You can read it in the papers A D Hear it on the radio G And the movies they are showing C G Towns and cities how they blaze G But there's hotter fire a-coming D G If we follow sin's highway
[Chorus]
G When the fire (When the fire) G Comes down from Heaven (Comes down from Heaven) C This old world (This old world) G Will melt away (Will melt away) G Millions then (Millions then) G Will cry for mercy (Will cry for mercy) G But it will be (But it will be) D G Too late to pray
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 3]
G Texas City, Texas City C G Oh how awful was her fate G First she burned and then exploded A D Now the story will relate G Of the Winecoff in Atlanta C G How she burned right to the ground G Or the great fire in Chicago D G And the dead lay all around
[Chorus]
G But when the fire (When the fire) G Comes down from Heaven (Comes down from Heaven) C This old world (This old world) G Will melt away (Will melt away) G Millions then (Millions then) G Will cry for mercy (Will cry for mercy) G But it will be (But it will be) D G Too late to pray
