[Intro 1]
[Em]
[D][C][Em][D]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
By the rivers [Em]dark
I [D]wandered [Em]on.[D][C]
I lived my [D]life
In [Em]Babylon.

[Verse 2]
[Em]
And I did forget
My [D]holy [Em]song[D][C]
And I had no [D]strength
In Babylon.
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[G]
By the river[A]s dark
Where I could not [Em]see[C]
Who was waiting [D]there
Who was hunt[Em]ing me.

[Verse 4]
[Em]
And he cut my lip
And he [D]cut my [Em]heart.[D][C]
So I could not drink
[D]From the[Em] river dark.

[Verse 5]
[Em]
And he covered me,
And I saw [D]within,
[Em]My l[C]awless heart[D]
And my [Em]wedding ring,

[Verse 6]
[G]
I did not [A]know
And I could not [Em]see[C]
Who was waiting [D]there,
Who was [Em]hunting me.

[Verse 7]
[Em]
By the rivers dark
[G]I pani[Bm]cked o[Em]n.[D][C]
I belonged at [D]last
To [Em]Babylon.

[Verse 8]
[Em]
Then he struck my heart
With [D]a deadly for[Em]ce,[C]
And he said, [D]â??This heart
It [Em]is not yours.'

[Verse 9]
And he [C]gave the [D]wind
[Em]My wedding ring
And [C]he circled us
With [Am]everything.
[B]

[Verse 10]
[Em]
By the rivers dark,
In [D]a wounded [Bm]dawn,[Em][D][C]
I live my [D]life
In [Em]Babylon.

[Verse 11]
[Em]
Though I take my song
From [D]a withered [Bm]limb[Em],[G][C]
Both song and [D]tree,
They [Em]sing for him.

[Verse 12]
[Em]
Be the truth unsaid
And [D]the bless[Bm]ing g[Em]one,[C]
If I [D]forget
My Babylon.
[Em]

[Verse 13]
[G]
I did not [A]know
And I could not [Em]see[C]
Who was waiting [D]there,
Who was hunting me.
[Em]

[Verse 14]
[G]
By the river[Em]s da[A]rk,
Where it all goes [Em]on[C]
By the rivers [D]dark

[Outro 1]
In Babylon.
