[Verse]
G                F  C  G
  Just a song of Gomorrah, 
G                        C
  I wonder what they did there 
C                F  C    G
  Must've been a bad thing 
G        F         C
  To get shot down for 
 
G-C-G Bb-F  F-C  G  
 
G                    F  C  G
  Wonder how they blew it up 
G                      C
  Or if they burned it down 
C                  F  C  G
  Get out, get out Mr. Lot 
G           F     C
  Don't you look around. 
 
G-C-G Bb-F  F-C  G 
 
G                  F  C  G
  Who gave you your orders, 
G                  C
  Someone from the sky 
C                      F  C  G
  I heard a voice inside my head 
G        F              C
  In the desert wind so dry 
 
G-C-G Bb-F  F-C  G 
 
[Break]
Bm
  I heard a voice tellin' me to flee 
Em                       C      G
  The very same voice I always believe 
Bm
  Said alot of trouble's comin', 
      Am                              D
  But it don't have to come to you 
C                      F  C  G
  I'm telling you so you can tell 
G               F           C
  The rest what you've been through. 
 
Bb-F F-C  G 
 
G                 G7/G7sus/G7 G
  But don't you turn around, no,
G                  C
  Don't look after you 
C                        G
  It's not your business how it's done, 
G           F         C
  You're lucky to get through 
 
Bb-F F-C  G 
 
G                G7/G7sus/G7 G
  You're a good upstanding man,
G                 C
  A credit to the flock 
C                   G
  If you don't face straight ahead 
G               F        C
  You could not take the shock 
 
Solo:  (verse chords)
 
Bb-F F-C  G 
 
G              G7/G7sus/G7 G
  Blew the city off the map,
G                        C
  Left nothing there but fire 
C                     G
  The wife of Lot got turned to salt, 
G             F        C
  Because she looked behind her. 
 
   Bb - F   F  -   C  G
Because-she looked be-hind her
   Bb - F   F  -   C  G
Because-she looked be-hind her   
   Bb - F   F  -   C  G
Because-she looked be-hind her
   Bb - F   F  -   C  G
Because-she looked be-hind her
   Bb - F   F  -   C  G
Because-she looked be-hind her
