Where he sat down
And there he[D] went
When he remembered[G] Zion
Over the wicked carry us away captivity
[C]Required from us this[G] song
How can we sing King Alfa's song in a[D] strange[G] land
So let the words of ou[D]r mouth and the me[G]d-tation of ou[D]r heart
Be ac[G]-ceptable in thy[D] sight
Over I[G]
