I Was Raised In Babylon

[Primeira Parte]]
E
  I was raised in Babylon
Our priests taught us how to worship the sun

   A                 E
Wo! Where did we go wrong?
B                         A                              E
  They used to call us civilised - but those days are gone

E
  I came to guard the Pharaoh
E
  Bring him wine and women

   A                  E
Oh Lord! Where is he now?
B                            D                              E
  We used call him the highest - till the wave took him down
(  E  A  E  G  A  E )

E
  I was born in the Holy Land
E
  They told me it was by God's command

  A D A                      E
Wo!    Where are the others from?
B                              D                       E
  I thought that we were the chosen - I must've been wrong

  I loved to march with the Sultan
E
  And his diamond turban

   A                            E
Oh Lord! Then the world took hold
B                  D                               E
  Let go of the rope of God - for a handful of gold
( G  A  E )

E
  I used to serve the Empire
E
  On which the sun set, never

    A                 E
Oh! Now times have turned
B                                         D
  We thought our white skins would save us
D                   E
 Then we got burned
