    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
A   D    G

[Verse 1]
G    D7                  G
Here is a story from the Good Book we know
  D7                        G
A story bout a miracle that happened long ago
   D7                                 G
We hope that you'll take courage when temptation you meet
        C        G                  C                  G
There's somebody watching you who's strong when you're weak

[Chorus]
              D7
They wouldn't bend
                           G
They held onto the will of God so we are told
              D7
They wouldn't bow
                                      G
They would not bow their knees to the idol made of gold
              D7
They wouldn't burn
                           G
They were protected by the fourth man in the fire
              C                  D7                G
They wouldn't bend they wouldn't bow they wouldn't burn

[Verse 2]

Now the prophet Daniel tells about
      C
Three men who walked with God
         D7
Shadrack Meshack and Abednego
                  G
Before the wicked king they stood

[Verse 3]

And the King commanded them
                        C
Bound and thrown in the fiery furnace that day
        D7
But the fire was so hot that the men were slain
                          G
That forced them on their way

[Verse 4]

Now when the three were cast in
                        C
And the King rose up to witness this awful fate
   D7
He began to tremble at what he saw
                           G
And in astonished tones he spake

[Bridge]
                                C
Did we not cast three men bound into the midst that fire
         D7                                           G
For lo I see four men unhurt unbound and walking down there
                                             C
There's Shadrack Meshack and Abednego in the fiery coals they trod
        D7                                                   G
And the form of the fourth man that I see is like the Son of God

[Chorus]
              D7
They wouldn't bend
                           G
They held onto the will of God so we are told
              D7
They wouldn't bow
                                      G
They would not bow their knees to the idol made of gold
              D7
They wouldn't burn
                           G
They were protected by the fourth man in the fire
              C                  D7                G
They wouldn't bend they wouldn't bow they wouldn't burn

[Chorus]
              D7
They wouldn't bend
                           G
They held onto the will of God so we are told
              D7
They wouldn't bow
                                      G
They would not bow their knees to the idol made of gold
              D7
They wouldn't burn
                           G
They were protected by the fourth man in the fire
              C                  D7                G
They wouldn't bend they wouldn't bow they wouldn't burn

[Chorus]
              D7
They wouldn't bend
                           G
They held onto the will of God so we are told
              D7
They wouldn't bow
                                      G
They would not bow their knees to the idol made of gold
              D7
They wouldn't burn
                           G
They were protected by the fourth man in the fire
              C                  D7                G       B     G
They wouldn't bend they wouldn't bow they wouldn't burn
