The Tower Of Babel Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
When the [Em]world was new,
all people spoke the same language.
They had one word that meant hello,
they had one word for hungry,
and one word for tired.
They could talk to each other
and understand each other.
One day, while they were talking,
they got an idea.
They said, let's make some bricks
and build a tall tower.
Let's build it so tall
that it reaches [Am]heaven.
An[Em]d everyone will sa[Am]y,
[Bm]We a[B]re the g[Bm]reatest pe[Em]ople
[Am]in the w[Em]orld.[G]
[Am]But God did [B]not want t[Bm]hem
to build [Em]the tower.
He saw that [A]they were
selfish and [D]proud.
[Bm]So He gave e[E]ach pers[Am]on
[Bb]a di[B]fferent la[Bm]nguage.
[Em]What's this gibberish?
[A]Tel[Bb]l me,[B][Bm][A]
what are these word[Bm]s?[Em]
[Am]Speaking a language I have[D]
[Bm]nev [E]er h[Am]eard.[Bm][D]
[Em]It's all Greek to [Am]me,[G]
[Em]it's [A]all Greek to you
[Em]Tell [Am]me, doesn't anybody know
how [D]to [E]speak Hebrew?
[Am]Yoo [B]-hoo[Bm] -hoo[Em]
Sha [Am]-da -la -ka -ra -da
[G]-poo -ba -dee [Em]-poo
Means [C]nothing to me,
but [Am]how about you?
Bra -la -kee [G]-ba -wa -na
-ko -ma -la [Em]-too[C]
[Am]Hmm
Ya -ma -li [C]-ka -ya -fi [G]-yo -bu -we [Em]-yo
[D]Sounds like you're trippin' all
[Am]over your [G]tongue
[B]Something is [Em]wrong![Am][Bb][Bm][Am][Em]
[A][Bb][Am][D][Bm][Am]
[D][Bm][E][Bb][E][Em]
Now [A]when one [Bb]man spoke
[B]to another [Bm]man,
[Em]all of h[A]is words sounded new
and dif[B]ferent.[D][Em]
[Am]People were mixed up.
[D]They could not un[E]derstand
each [Am]other.[E][Em]
[Am]Shadily -curry -de [G]-po -po -de [Em]-po
Means [D]nothing to me,
but [Am]how about you?
Spread like a bow and a
comb on the [Em]tube.[C]
[Am]Nyam[G]ily -kaya -pe -yo
-go -we [Em]-yong
Sounds like you're [D]dripping
all [Am]over your tongue.
[G]Ergy -be -dugy -le -go -go
-de [Em]-pong
[B]Something is [Em]wrong![Am]
Shababy!
[B]Domo -ga[Bm] -ga -da[Em]o!
[A]Sha[Bb]baby![B][Bm][Em]
[Am][D][E][A][B][Bm]
[Em]
They [A]could not [B]co operate [Bm]any [Em]more,
[A]so they stopped build[B]ing their tower.
[A]They cal[Em]led the unfinished tow[Am]er, Babel,
[D]because God confus[E]ed their
language [Bm]there.[Em]
