Beside The Rivers Of Babylon
Psalm 136 (137)

Am Dm Am Dm Am

A. BESIDE THE RIVERS OF BABYLON, A. LORD, TAKE ACCOUNT OF OUR ENEMIES;

E7 Am Dm Am

REMEMBERING YOU WE SAT DOWN TO WEEP; LORD, TAKE ACCOUNT OF OUR OPPRESSORS,

Dm Am E7

ON THE WILLOWS WE HUNG UP OUR GUITARS, WHEN THEY SAID TO EACH OTHER;

E7 Am Am

REMEMBERING YOU WE SAT DOWN TO WEEP. 'RAZE HER DOWN TO HER FOUNDATIONS.'

Dm Am G

'SING OUR ENEMIES TOLD US; C. Capital

Dm Am Am

'SING OUR OPPRESSORS TOLD US; of criminal Babylon!

E7 Am G Am

THEY WANTED US TO SING SONGS OF JOY. Who could repay you the evil you have done to us?

E7 Am

G Who could crush your little ones against the rock?

C. How could we sing

Am Dm Am

a song of the Lord in a foreign land? A. BESIDE THE RIVERS OF BABYLON

E7 E7 Am

if I forget you REMEMBERING YOU WE SAT DOWN TO WEEP;

Am Dm Am

may my right hand wither, ON THE WILLOWS WE HUNG UP OUR GUITARS,

E7 Am

may my tongue REMEMBERING YOU, WE SAT DOWN TO WEEP.

Dm Am

cleave to my palate

E7

if I don't remember you Jerusalem

Am

at the top of my joy.
