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

            (G)
oh 'fore the wicked
             G
carry us away captivity
             C
required from us a song
             G
how can we sing King Alfa's song
     D       G
In a strange land

Chorus

  G             D
so let the words of our mouth
  G             D
and the meditation of our heart
  G             D
be acceptable in thy sight
  G
Over I

Verse 1

Coda

How can we sing King Alfa's song

In a strange land
