When The Fire Comes Down From Heaven Lyrics & Chords

By Hank Williams

(D)Way back in the days of Noah

Water (G)covered all this (D)land

Then the great rainbow of promise  

Started (E)up on life (A)again

      

And the (D)Good Book tells of fires 

That will (G)fill the earth some (D)day

Then the sinful will be screaming

As this (A)earth shall pass (D)away



Chorus

(D)When the fire when the fire

Comes down from Heaven (comes down from Heaven) 

This old (G)world (this old world)                 

Will melt (D)away (will melt away)

Millions then (millions then)

Will cry for mercy (will cry for mercy) 

But it will (A)be (but it will be)   

Too late to (D)pray



Oh this World is at a tremble

And it's rocking to and fro

You can read it in the papers

Hear it on the radio



In the movies they are showing

Towns and cities how they blaze

But there's hotter fire a-coming

If we follow sin's highway



Texas City Texas City

Oh how awful was her fate

First she burned and then exploded

Now the story we'll relate



Of the Wine-coff in Atlanta

How she burned right to the ground

Of the great fire in Chicago

And the dead lay all around
