Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][A][Am][Em][Am][Em][D]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[E]Babylon[C#m][E][B][Em]
Is represented in the Bible by
[B]a stone[G#m][G#]
[C#m]Babylon[B][Em]
Is thrown in a river and lost
[B]in a storm[G#][G#m]
[C#m]Babylon[B][Em]
And never, never, ever again
Will anybody ever wanna call
you they [B]home
[F#][B]

[Verse 2]
[F#]
This is how you're gonna sink, [G#]now
I don't care whatever you may think,
[G#m]now[F#]
I'm gonna bring my wrath down on you,
[F#m]now[B][Em]

[Verse 3]
So you'll feel the weight of truth, now
[F#]Gonna drop you like a rock
of ages in the sea
[G#m]And disappear like a pebble
in [F#]eternity
Nobody wants to save
what's best left dead
[G#]A tidal wa[G#m]ve is go[G#]nna dig your [A]grave
[Em][G][F#][Am][Em][Dm][Em][Am]
[Em]Babylon[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Em]
[Dm][Em]

[Verse 4]
Never ever again will [Em]you ever hear
The sweet sound of no
beautiful singer's voice
No angels playing guitars
Or plucking on they harps
No flutes, no trumpet players
Will be left back of Bouchon
Ain't gonna be no ditch diggers,
no construction workers
No pimps, no hustlers, no jaw jerkers

[Verse 5]
No city lights, no [Em]pretty sights
Will ever shine on you again
No more actors, no Max Factors
Will smog your mind and leave you blind
No politicians, no higher religions
To guide you from the dark
No more Love- Ins, no more Human Be- Ins

[Interlude 2]
Will light up Griffin Park
[Em][F#][F#][A][Em]
[Am][Em][Am][F#][Am][Em]

[Verse 6]
[F#]Babylon[C#m][B][Em]
On your hands is the blood of the prophets
and all the holy [Bm]ones[G#m][G#]
[C#m]Babylon[B]
[Em]Everyone you executed with your
machine [Bm]guns[B][G#m][G#]
[C#m]Babylon[B][Bm]
[Em]You're bringing about your own destruction,
Babylon
[B][Bm][B][F#][B]

[Verse 7]
[F#]
I'm putting you down
down down down
[G#]Where you can never rise
up [G#m]again[G#][G#m]
[F#]And watch your ashes light
up the midnight [Em]skies once again
[F#]After reading the words of
this old [G#m]scroll [G#m]to you[G#]
[F#]I hope you all cap back on the message
Lord, that [G#]I just told to [A]you
