[Db] [Fm]

[Fm]
[Eb] [Fm] By [Eb]
[Fm]
the rivers dark [Eb] I [Fm] wandered on
[Cm] [Fm] I lived my life [Eb]
[Fm] in Babylon
And I did forget [Cm] my holy [Fm] song
[Eb] [Fm] And I had no strength [Eb]
[Fm] in Babylon
[Ab] By the rivers [Bb] dark where I could [Fm] not see Who was waiting [Eb] there, [Ab] who was hunting [Fm] me
And it cut my lip [Eb] and it cut [Fm] my
[Eb] [Db] So I could not drink [Eb]
from [Fm] the rivers dark
And it covered me [Eb] and I saw [Fm] within My
[Ab] [Db] lawless heart [Eb]
and [Fm] my weeping brain
[Ab] I did not [Bb] know and I could [Fm] not see Who [Db] was waiting [Eb] there, who was [Fm] hunting me
By the rivers dark [Eb] I panicked [Fm] on [Eb]
[Db] I belonged at last
[Eb]
[Fm]
Then he struck my heart [Eb] with a deadly [Fm] force And
[Cm] [Db] he said, it's hard, [Eb]
[Fm] it is not yours
And he [Db] gave [Eb] the wind
[Fm] my wedding ring And he circled [Db] us [Bbm] with [C] everything
By [Fm] the rivers dark in [Eb] a wounded [Fm] town
[Eb] [Db] I [Bbm] lived my life [Eb] [Fm] in Babylon
Though I take my song [Cm] from a withered [Fm] limb
[Cm] [Db] Both song and dream, [Eb] [Fm] they sing for him
Fear the truth unsaid [Cm] and the blessing [Fm] gone If [Db] I was walking [Eb] by [Fm] Babylon
[Ab] I did not [Bb] know and I could [Fm] not see Who [Db] was waiting [Eb] there, who was [Fm] hunting me
By [Ab] the rivers [Bb] dark where it [Fm] all goes on [Db] By the rivers [Eb] dark in [Fm] Babylon
