A                    A/G#
On the willows there we hung up our lives
A/F#                  B        Bm7       Bm7/E
For our captors there required     of us songs
Bm7     Bm7/E       A
And our tormenters' mirth

A                    A/G#
On the willows there we hung up our lives
A/F#                  B        Bm7       Bm7/E
For our captors there required     of us songs
Bm7     Bm7/E       A
And our tormenters' mirth

        A    E/G# F#m        Gmaj7    C6
Saying, sing us   one of the songs of Zion
A    E/G# F#m        Gmaj7    C6
Sing us   one of the songs of Zion
A    E/G# F#m        Gmaj7    
Sing us   one of the songs of Zion
    F#m7       Gmaj7
But how can we sing
F#m7            Gmaj7
Sing the Lord's song
F#m7 Dm/F    Em
In a foreign land?

A                    A/G#
