[Intro]
[C] [G]

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