[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] [Gm]

[Gm] We lay down in plans, in plans for thee Zion.
We remember thee, [Eb] remember [Gm]
thee Zion.
[Eb]
[Bb] [Gm]
Please sing with me, okay?
By the water we lay down in plans, [Am] [Gm] in plans for thee Zion.
We remember thee, remember thee.
[Eb] [Gm]
This is really a very sad song, but there's always a little glimmer of hope in a song like this one.
And the last verse, we remember thee, we remember thee, we remember thee Zion, is the hopeful part.
Because if you keep the memory of something that you want to come and to be again, someday it will be again.
And I think that's what makes it a great song.
You sing it again.
By the water we lay down in plans, in plans for thee Zion.
We remember [Cm]
thee, remember [Gm] thee, remember thee Zion.
I'm going to ask you to do something that's sort of difficult.
I'm going to divide this audience into three parts.
You get the idea.
These people over here will be one group, and these will be another, and those over there will be another.
And we'll start going.
I'll just let you go first.
And just keep singing.
Don't get hung up on the person singing a different part, otherwise you'll [Eb] sound like you're in a washing machine.
[Gm] Okay, you ready?
[G] Here we go.
By [Cm] the [Gm] waters, the waters of Babylon, keep [Eb] [Cm] going.
[Gm] By the waters of Babylon, keep going.
