Em
There is no guidance in your kingdom
Am
Your wicked walk in Babylon
Em
There is no wisdom to your freedom
Am
The richest man in Babylon
Bm       Am      Em
Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa

Em
Your beggars sleep outside your doorway
Am
Your prophets leave to wonder on
Em
You fall asleep at night with worry
Am
The saddest man in Babylon
Bm       Am      Em
Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa

Em
The wicked stench of exploitation
Am
Hangs in the air and lingers on
Em
Beneath the praise and admiration
Am
The weakest man in Babylon
Bm       Am      Em
Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa

Em
There is no hope left in your kingdom
Am
Your servants have burned all their songs
Em
Nobody here remembers freedom
Am
The richest man in Babylon
Bm       Am      Em
Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa
