ok this is a great old sca tune (yes sca can be slow and gospel like
regae. 'tis jamaican after all.)

CHORDS: G, D, D7

intro/main and only riff:
|G| |D|D7|D| |G|
|-------------------|\ /two|-------------------|-------------------|
|-------------------| \ / two|-------------------|----0--------------|
|-------------------| \/ two|-------------------|0h3---3p0----------|
|------0------------| /\ two|0-0----------------|----------3p0------|
|--2h3--------------| / \ two|----3-2------------|-------------------|
|3------------------|/ \two|-------------------|-------------------|

when the lyrics start play the g chord for two bars, then the d, repeat
till the lyrics end and then play the intro/main and only riff again...
and play this song with heart and soul my friends, it's a great tune,
realy touching :)

gotta love the steel drum solo, here's the lyrics:

By the rivers of babylon
where he sat down
and there he went
to remember zion

oh father wiccan(?)
carry us away (from) captivity
require from us a song

how can we thinking of a song in a strange land? (silence the guitar
for that line)

so let the words of our mouth
and the meditations of our hearts
be acceptible in thy sight

over us

(first riff, steel drum solo)
Gsustain Dsustain
how can we thinking of a song in a strange land
