THE RIVERS OF BABYLON

Chorus:
By the rivers of (G) Babylon,
There we sat down,
And there we (D) wept when we remembered (G) Zion.
By the rivers of (G) Babylon,
There we sat down,
And there we (D) wept when we remembered (G) Zion.

They that (G) carried us away captivity,
Re(C)quired of us a (G) song.
How shall we sing the Lord's song in (D) strange (G) land?
They that (G) carried us away captivity,
Re(C)quired of us a (G) song.
How shall we sing the Lord's song in (D) strange (G) land?

Chorus

Let the words of my mouth,
And the meditation of my heart.
Be acceptable in the sight of Thee tonight.
Let the words of my mouth,
And the meditation of my heart.
Be acceptable in the sight of Thee tonight.
