By the rivers of babylon
Where he sat down
and there he wept
when he remembered Zion
oh 'fore the wicked (this might actually be 'It was the wicked' but
I'm not sure)
carry us away captivity
required from us a song
how can we sing King Alfa's song
In a strange land
so let the words of our mouth
and the meditation of our heart
G D now mute strings
be acceptable in thy sight
override (I'm not sure this line is right, any suggestions?)
repeat opening riff
play verse
now play chorus
how can we sing King Alfa's song
in a strange land
