THE FOURTH MAN

Recorded by Johnny Cash

Written by Arthur Smith

Refrain:

[E] They wouldn't [B7] bend

They held on to the will of [E] God so we are told

They wouldn't [B7] bow

They would not bow their knees to [E] Idols made of gold

They wouldn't [B7] burn

They were protected by the [E] Fourth Man in the fire

They wouldn't [A] bend

They wouldn't [B7] bow, they wouldn't [E] burn.

[E] Now the prophet Daniel tells about

Three [A] men who walked with God

[B7] Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Before the wicked king they [E] stood

And the king commanded them bound and thrown

Into the [A] fiery furnace that day

But the [B7] fire was so hot that the men were slain

That forced them on their [E] way.

Refrain:

Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up

To witness this awful fate

He began to tremble at what he saw

In astonished tones he spake

Did we not cast three men bound

Into the midst of the fire

Well, Lo, I see four men unhurt

Unbound and walkin' down there;

There's Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

And the fiery coals they trod

But the form of the Fourth Man that I see

Is like the Son of God;

Refrain:
