[Verse 1]

  (Just vocal)     G
  By the Rivers of Babylon, where he sat down
               D                        G
  And there he wept. When he remembered Zion
                      G
  Oh from the wicked, carry us away (from) captivity
  C                    G
  Require from us this song
                                         D       G
  How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?

  (Continue on G chord)


[Verse 2]

  G                         D
  So let the words of our mouth
  G                         D
  And a meditation of our hearts
  G                      D
  Be acceptable in thy sight
  (Pause)   G
  Oh - verai!...
