Verse 1:
A augmentedA
Well the Bible tells about a man
E MajorE A augmentedA
Who ruled Babylon and all it's land
Around the city he built a wall
E MajorE A augmentedA
And declared that Babylon would never fall
He had concubines and wives
E MajorE A augmentedA
He called his Babylon "Paradise"
Upon his throne he drank and ate
E MajorE A augmentedA
But for Belshazzer it was getting late
Chorus:
A augmentedA
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
E MajorE
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
A augmentedA
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
E MajorE A augmentedA
His houses were built upon the sand
Verse 2:
A augmentedA
Well the people feasted and drank their wine
E MajorE A augmentedA
And praised the false gods of his time
All holy things were scorned and mocked
E MajorE A augmentedA
Suddenly all their mocking stopped
On the wall there appeared a hand
E MajorE A augmentedA
Nothing else, there was no man
In blood the hand began to write
E MajorE A augmentedA
And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
Chorus:
A augmentedA
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
E MajorE
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
A augmentedA
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
E MajorE A augmentedA
His houses were built upon the sand
Verse 3:
A augmentedA
Well no one around could understand
E MajorE A augmentedA
What was written by the mystic hand
Belshazzar tried but couldn't find
E MajorE A augmentedA
A augmentedA man who could give him piece of mind
Daniel the prophet, a man of God
E MajorE A augmentedA
He saw the writing on the wall in blood
Belshazzar asked him what it said
E MajorE A augmentedA
And Daniel turned to the wall and read
Chorus:
A augmentedA
My Friend You’re weighed in the balance and found wanting
E MajorE
Your kingdom Is divided, it can’t stand
A augmentedA
For you’ve been weighed in the balance and found wanting
E MajorE A augmentedA
Your houses Are All built upon the sand
