CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] 
Em  A  C  D  Em  A  C  Bm  Em  A  C  D  Em  A  C  D  Em
[VERSE 1:]
                A             C                D
Turn around and go back down, back the way you came 
Em                A              C                  Bm
Can't you see the flash of fire, ten times brighter than the day 
Em             A            C             D           Em
And behold the mighty city, broken in the dust again
            A             C             D     Em    A  C  D  Em
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again
[VERSE 2:]
                A             C                D
Turn around and go back down, back the way you came 
Em         A              C              Bm
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame 
      Em             A               C                D            Em
Their mighty men are beaten down the kings are fallen in the ways 
            A             C             D     Em    A  C  D  Em
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again
[VERSE 3:]
                A             C                D
Turn around and go back down, back the way you came 
Em           A           C                  Bm
Terror is on every side, though the leaders are dismayed 
Em                  A                 C                      D          Em
Those who put their faith in fire, in fire their faith shall be repaid 
            A             C             D     Em    A      Em
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again

Turn around and go back down, back the way you came 
Em              A              C                 Bm
Shout a warning to the nations that the sword of God is raised 
Em               A            C                 D
On Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasure, wide in fame
Em                 A                  C            D       Em
It shall cause thy towers to fall and make it be a pyre of flame 
            A             C             D     Em
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again
[VERSE 5:]
                       A            C                 D
Oh, thou that dwell on many waters, rich in treasure, wide in fame 
Em         A                C                    D      Em
Bow unto a god of gold, thy pride of might shall be thy shame
            A             C             D     Em    A  C  D  Em  A  Em
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again
[VERSE 6:]
                 A               C             D      Em
And only God can lead the people back into the earth again 
                  A                C            Bm     Em   A  Em  A  Em  A  Em
Thy holy mountain be restored, thy mercy on thy people, Lord
