_ [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 _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
