 Rivers of Babylon
 ----------------------
 Verse:           G
 By the rivers of babylon
              G
 where he sat down
              D
 and there he wept
                    G
 when he remembered zion



 chorus:

 oh fore the wicked
 G
 carry us away captivity
 C                   G
 required from us a song
 G                                     D       G
 how can we sing king alfa's song in a strange land

            G            D
 so let the words of our mouth
         G                 D
 and the meditation of our heart
      G               D
 be acceptable in thy sight
 (no chord)
 override

 repeat opening riff:

 then play verse:

 then play chorus
 G                                     D       G
 how can we sing king alfa's song in a strange land.
