INTRO: Db
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [Ab]Abedne[Db]go!..[Db]Shadrack, Meshach,
[B]Abedne[Db]go!)
[Db]Now there were three children from the land of Israel.
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [Ab]Abedne[Db]go!)
[Db]Ah, they took a little trip to the land of [F#]Babylon.
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [Ab]Abedne[Db]go!)
[Db]And old Nebudchanezzer was the king of Babylon.
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [Ab]Abedne[Db]go!)
[Db]So they took a lot of gold, and [F#]made them an [Db]idol.
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [Ab]Abedne[Db]go!)
BRIDGE:
[Db]And they told everybody when you hear the music of the
clarinet..they told everybody when you hear the music of
the [Ab]flute.
Now, [Db]listen, children, when you hear the music of the horn..
oh, you [C#m]gotta [E]bow down and wor[F#]ship the [Db]idol!
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [Ab]Abedne[Db]go!)
[Db]Ah, but the children of Israel would not bow down!
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [B]Abedne[Db]go!)
[Db]We ain't going to bow to no golden idol!
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [B]Abedn[Db]ego!)
[Db]No, you [C#m]couldnt [Db]fool the children with the golden idol!
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [B]Abedn[Db]ego!)
[Db]So, the [C#m]king [Db]cast the children into the [C#m]fiery [Db]furnace.
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [Ab]Abedne[Db]go!)
[Db]He heaped on coal and red-hot brimstone, good for Satan.
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [Ab]Abedne[Db]go!)
[Db]Even made it seven [C#m]times [Db]hotter than it oughtta be!
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [Ab]Abedne[Db]go!)
[Db]Now, they burned up the soldiers that the king had put there.
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [Ab]Abedne[Db]go!)
BRIDGE:
[Db]Oh, Shadrack! [B]Meshach, Abednego!..[Db]nnnhh!-um-hmm.
[Db]Then the Good Lord called an angel, gave him a couple of wings.
[Db]He said go down there through the middle of the furnace and began
to coolin' the flames.
And those children [Ab]got so [Db]happy, they went [E]struttin' [Db]right through
[Cm]the [Db]fire.
[Eb]Just [E]laughin' and [F#]talkin' 'bout the [Cm]power of the [Db]Gospel.
([Db]Shadrack, Meshach, [Ab]Abedne[Db]go!)
OUTRO:
[Db]Oh, Shadrack! [B]Meshach, Abednego!!!..[Db]unnnhhh!
