INTRO: C C7 F/A Fm/Ab C/G D7 G7 C7
C F
By the banks of Babylon they hung their harps up high,
C D7 G7
Then the children of Jerusalem hung their heads to cry,
C C7 F D7
They could not sing their songs to God, 'cause there was no joy in-side,
G F# F F#
But then the Lord re-membered them,
G F# F F#
He broke their cords and for-gave their sin,
G G7 C A7 Dm7 G7 C [N/C]
And brought them back to Je-rusa-lem to re-build their broken lives!
Chorus: G7 C
Get your harp down from the willow tree,
F F#dim
Come on and praise His name with me,
C A7 D D7
You're no longer in cap-tivi-ty,
F7 F#dim G G7 C [N/C - bass only]
So get your harp down with me!
C F
By the power of sin and death Satan held us bound,
C D7 G7
And to our one last dying breath, fear was all a-round,
C C7 F D7
We could not give our lives to God, 'cause life could not be found,
G F# F F#
But then the Lord re-membered men,
G F# F F#
He broke our cords and for-gave our sin,
G G7 C A7 Dm7 G7 C [N/C]
When He died at Je-rusa-lem to re-new our broken lives!
Bridge: F7 C7
Now put away that sorry face I see,
F7
God gave our hearts a brand new start,
D7 G7
So get down your harp with me!
