verse:
R1               G
By the rivers of babylon

R1             G
Where he sat down

R2             D
and there he wept

R3                   G
when he remembered Zion

Chorus:

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

           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 'farai
