[Verse]

                 G
By the rivers of babylon
             G
Where he sat down
             D
and there he wept
                   G
when he remembered Zion

[Chorus]

oh from the wicked
G
carry us away from captivity 
  C
require from us a song
G
how can we sing King Alpha's song
      D          G
In a strange land
           
           G            D
so let the words of our mouth
              G           D
and the meditations of our heart
       G             D      (now mute strings)
be acceptable in thy sight
         G
over I

(repeat opening riff)

(play verse)

(now play chorus)

G
how can we sing King Alpha's song
     D           G
in a strange land
