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 (this might actually be 'It was the wicked' but
I'm not sure)
G
carry us away captivity
C
required from us a song
G
how can we sing King Alfa's song
D G
In a strange land
G D
so let the words of our mouth
G D
and the meditation of our heart
G D now mute strings
be acceptable in thy sight
G
override (I'm not sure this line is right, any suggestions?)
repeat opening riff
play verse
now play chorus
G
how can we sing King Alfa's song
D G
in a strange land
well that's about it, thanks
