Babylon

F#   G# A   F#   G# A  B  C#    F#m

[Verse]
       A               F#m        
To the halls of Latham House, the 
E              B
king he did proclaim
                         F#m   
That the seventh Earl of Derby, 
       B               G#
James Stanley was his name
         A                 F#m    
Should resist the Scottish force, 
      E               B
bound for the Isle of Man
                      F#m          
So he gathered up his fighters and 
 B                   G#
obeyed the king's command

[Verse]
          A               F#m 
Well, the Countess was of noble 
                E           B
blood, though not of royalty
                   F#m       B    
Yet brave and as intrepid as any 
       G#
man was she
       A              F#m         
So the house became a fortress, 
   E                 B
with her good Lord now gone
                  F#m           
Her name was Lady Charlotte, but 
      B              G#     A
they called her Babylon

[Chorus]
   E                 B            
So put yourselves in line against 
F#m7
Babylon
    A                E            
All ye that bend the bow against 
   G#
the crown

E                  B              
Train the gunner's sights against 
F#m7
Babylon
                            A      
Till the Eagle's Tower does fall 
and the walls they are thrown 
C#m      F#m
down...

[Verse]
         A            F#m    
Both the puritans and Fairfax, 
    E               B
together they did call
                        F#m        
For this one last royal stronghold 
   B             G#
in Lancashire to fall
       A            F#m           
So the garrison she strengthened 
       E               B
and the Eagle Tower was manned
                    F#m            
And refusing all conditions, it was
 B                G#     A
 then the siege began

[Chorus]
   E                 B            
So put yourselves in line against 
F#m7
Babylon
    A                E            
All ye that bend the bow against 
   G#
the crown
E                  B              
Train the gunner's sights against 
F#m7
Babylon
                            A      
Till the Eagle's Tower does fall 
and the walls they are thrown 
C#m      F#m
down...

[Verse]
      A                  F#m      
'Twas in two good months when 
  E            B
those rebels did retreat
They were cast out from the 
F#m            B           G#
earthworks and driven to defeat
        A             F#m          
With dishonour and in shame, their 
E                B
siege came to an end
                      F#m          
They were routed by a lady and two 
B             G#      A
hundred loyal men

[Chorus]
   E                 B            
So put yourselves in line against 
F#m7
Babylon
    A                E            
All ye that bend the bow against 
   G#
the crown
    E                  B    
And train the gunner's sights 
          F#m7
against Babylon
                            A      
Till the Eagle's Tower does fall 
                            E
and the walls they are thrown 
down...

[Chorus]
                     B            
So put yourselves in line against 
F#m7
Babylon
    A                E            
All ye that bend the bow against 
   G#
the crown
E                  B              
Train the gunner's sights against 
F#m7
Babylon
                            A      
Till the Eagle's Tower does fall 
and the walls they are thrown

down...
