[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!...
