Rivers of Babylon
Recorded by Daniel O'Donnell
Written by John James Ryan 

G
By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down
        D7                      G
Yeah we wept when we remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down
        D7                      G
Yeah we wept when we remembered Zion


When the wicked

Carried us away in captivity
  C                 G
Requiring from us a song
                                           D7      G
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land

                     D7                G              D7
Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
   G                 D7           G
Be acceptable in Thy sight here tonight
                     D7                G             D7
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
   G                 D7         G
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

Repeat #1 x2
