C#5                      G#5
We were building up the tower

                    A5
Making it go ever higher

                    E5       B5                 C#5
Almost getting up as tall as Saint Paul in his shawl

                     G#5
But when Jehovah saw us rise

                        A5
He shot out lightning from his eyes

                        G#5    G#5
His righteousness then knocked us down

G#5
Where we belong
