[Intro]
[Verse]
                  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?
[Verse]
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!...
