Tom: C5

                  C5
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down,
           G5                        C5
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down,
           G5                        C5
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

1. When the wicked 
      C5                               F5               C5
    carried us away in captivity, required from us a song.
                                                  G5     C5
    Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land.
