Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
 Chord diagramA augmentedA
Well the Bible tells about a man
                       Chord diagramE MajorE        Chord diagramA augmentedA
Who ruled Babylon and all it's land

Around the city he built a wall
                           Chord diagramE MajorE          Chord diagramA augmentedA
And declared that Babylon would never fall

He had concubines and wives
                       Chord diagramE MajorE    Chord diagramA augmentedA
He called his Babylon "Paradise"

Upon his throne he drank and ate
                          Chord diagramE MajorE       Chord diagramA augmentedA
But for Belshazzer it was getting late
Chorus:
Chord diagramA augmentedA
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
                                  Chord diagramE MajorE
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
       Chord diagramA augmentedA
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
                Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramA augmentedA
His houses were built upon the sand


Verse 2:
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Well the people feasted and drank their wine
                           Chord diagramE MajorE      Chord diagramA augmentedA
And praised the false gods of his time

All holy things were scorned and mocked
                   Chord diagramE MajorE       Chord diagramA augmentedA
Suddenly all their mocking stopped

On the wall there appeared a hand
                    Chord diagramE MajorE      Chord diagramA augmentedA
Nothing else, there was no man

In blood the hand began to write
                        Chord diagramE MajorE        Chord diagramA augmentedA
And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
Chorus:
Chord diagramA augmentedA
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
                                  Chord diagramE MajorE
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
       Chord diagramA augmentedA
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
                Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramA augmentedA
His houses were built upon the sand


Verse 3:
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Well no one around could understand
                        Chord diagramE MajorE      Chord diagramA augmentedA
What was written by the mystic hand

Belshazzar tried but couldn't find
                         Chord diagramE MajorE        Chord diagramA augmentedA
Chord diagramA augmentedA man who could give him piece of mind

Daniel the prophet, a man of God
                          Chord diagramE MajorE       Chord diagramA augmentedA
He saw the writing on the wall in blood

Belshazzar asked him what it said
                         Chord diagramE MajorE        Chord diagramA augmentedA
And Daniel turned to the wall and read


Chorus:
Chord diagramA augmentedA
My Friend You’re weighed in the balance and found wanting
                                  Chord diagramE MajorE
Your kingdom Is divided, it can’t stand
       Chord diagramA augmentedA
For you’ve been weighed in the balance and found wanting
                    Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramA augmentedA
Your houses Are All built upon the sand
