I Was Raised in Babylon chords and lyrics - YUSUF / CAT STEVENS

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
I was raised in [Em]Babylon
Our priests taught us how
to worship the sun
[Asus4]Wo! Where[A] did we go wrong?[Em]
They used to call us civ[A]ilised

[Interlude 1]
- but those days are gone
[Em]

[Verse 2]
I came to guard the [Em]Pharaoh
Bring him wine and women
Oh [Asus4]Lord! Whe[A]re is he now[Em]?
[B]We use[Baug]d call him the h[A]ighest

[Interlude 2]
- till the wave took him down
[Em]

[Verse 3]
I was born in the Holy [Em]Land
They told me it was by God's command
[Asus4]Wo! Where[A] are
the others [Em]from?
[Baug]I thought that we were the cho[B]sen
[A]- I must've bee[Em]n wrong

[Verse 4]
I loved to march with [Em]the Sultan
And his diamond turban
Oh Lord! [Asus4]Then the worl[Em]d took hold
[B]Let go of the rope of God[A]

[Interlude 4]
- for a handful of gold
[Em]

[Verse 5]
I used to serve the [Em]Empire
On which the sun set, never
[A]Oh! [Asus4]Now times[A] have turned[Em]
[B]We thought our whi[Baug]te skins would save
[A]us [Em]- then we got burned

[Outro 1]
[Em][A]
[Baug][Em]
