[Verse]
                    Ebm                          
So the king put the children in the fiery furnace

Shadrack Meshach Abednego
          Ebm

Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Bbm          Bb7                              
Eleven times hotter hotter than it ought to be
Ebm                      
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Ebm                                               
Burned up the soldiers that the king had put there
Ebm                      
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
                     B7                       B    
But the Lord sent an angel with the snowwhite wings
Ab7         Db7           Ebm    
Down in the middle of the furnace
               Ebm                                   
Talkin' to the children 'bout the power of the Gospel

Ebm                      
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
                        Ebm

Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Abm                                         Ebm   
Laughin' and talkin' while the fire jumpin' 'round

Shadrack Meshach Abednego ■  
    Ebm                            
Old Nebudchanezzer called hey there
                Ebm              
When he saw the power of the Lord
                                          B7     
And they had a regal time in the house of Babylon
B7
