[Verse 1]
Em
Hail the day so long expected, hail the year of full release
Em
Zion’s walls are now erected, and their watch heads publish peace
GEmD
Through our child’s white dominion, hear the trumpet loudly roar
[Chorus]
Em
Babylon is fallen, it’s fallen, it’s fallen
CEm
Babylon is fallen, it’ll rise no more
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Em
All her merchants stand with wonder, what is this that comes to pass?
Em
Murmuring like the distant thunder, and crying ‘oh alas alas’
GEmD
Swell the sound you kings and nobles, priests and people rich and poor
[Chorus]
Em
Babylon is fallen, it’s fallen, it’s fallen
CEm
Babylon is fallen, it’ll rise no more
[Instrumental]
EmCEm
[Verse 3]
Em
Blow the trumpet on Mount Zion, for the kings are all brought down
Em
Who once ruled with rods of iron, and wore our fortunes on their crown
GEmD
Fables, garments we’ve rejected, and they’ll find us never more
[Chorus]
Em
Babylon is fallen, it’s fallen, it’s fallen
CEm
Babylon is fallen, it’ll rise no more
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
EmCEm
Like the river carves the valley, and the oak tree dulls the axe
Em
Like the moss tears down the palace, while the fallen turn to grass
GEmD
Like the storm’s distant warning, is but a ripple on the shore
[Chorus]
Em
Babylon is fallen, it’s fallen, it’s fallen
Babylon is fallen, it’ll rise no more
[Outro]
Em
Babylon is fallen, it’s fallen, it’s fallen
DEm
Babylon is fallen, it’ll rise no more
