Verse:

By the rivers of [G]Babylon

Where he sat down

And there he [D]went

When he remembered [G]Zion

Over the wicked carry us away captivity

[C]Required from us this [G]song

How can we sing King Alfa's song in a [D]strange [G]land

So let the words of our [D]mouth and the medi[G]tation of our [D]heart

Be ac[G]ceptable in thy [D]sight

Over I [G]
