Verse:
    Gm      Bb            F         C
Our captors cracked their whips and grinned
Am                    Bb
Down by the rivers of Babylon
     Gm          Bb      F      C
They laughed and mocking bid us sing
Am                    Bb
Down by the rivers of Babylon
      Gm       Bb           F        C
So we hung our harps upon a withered tree
Am                    Bb
Down by the rivers of Babylon
       Gm      Bb          F     C
And we gave up songs about being free
Am                    Bb
Down by the rivers of Babylon

But oh don’t let our love grow cold

By the rivers of Babylon?

   Gm      Bb             F       C
We wake up strangers in a foreign land
Am                    Bb
Down by the rivers of Babylon
      Gm     Bb            F            C
Lord, dry as sand slipping through your hand
Am                    Bb
Down by the rivers of Babylon

    F                     A
But oh don’t let our love grow cold
