[G#] [C#] [C#] By the rivers there we sat, in [F#] Babylon we sat and [C#] we wept, and upon the willow trees
[F#] hung [G#] our home, [A#m] when we [C#] remembered Zion.
[C#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [G#] [C#]
By our captors we were told, sing a song, a song of Zion, but Babylon we will not sing,
a song [G#] of the Lord, [A#m] for we remember
[C#] [C#] Zion, [D#]
[G#] [C#] we [C#] remember Zion.

[F#] Tell me how can we sing [C#] a song of the Lord, [E] while we [D#] are in a [C#] foreign land?
Tell me how can we sing a song of the Lord, [E] while we [C#] are in a foreign [A#m] land?
[F#]
[A#m] If I forget you, oh Jerusalem, may my right hand lose [F#] its skill, [A#m] may my tongue cling
to the roof of [F#] my mouth, [A#m] if I do not remember you,
[A#m] remember Lord what Eden did, remember
[C#] oh Lord, on the day, the day [F#] Jerusalem fell.
[A#m] Tear it down, they cried, tear it down, tear it down to its [F#] foundations.
[A#m] Oh God of Babylon, doomed to [G#] destruction, [A#] happy [G#] is the one who [F#] will repay you.
[A#m] Oh God [G#] of Babylon, [A#m] doomed [G#] to destruction, [A#] happy [G#] is the one who will [F#] repay you, [B] for all
the things you [C#] have done.
Blessed is he, blessed is he, who destroys.
By
[A#] the rivers there we wept, [C#] by the rivers there we [F#] wept, we remember Zion.
[C#] By the rivers there we [A#] wept, by the rivers there we wept, [C#]
we remember Zion.
By the rivers there we wept, [D#] by the rivers there we wept, [C#] by the rivers there we [F#] sat and wept.
