[INTRO]

[VERSE]
To the [A]halls of Latham [F#m]House, the [E]king he did pro[B]claim
That the seventh Earl of [F#m]Derby, James [B]Stanley was his [G#]name
Should re[A]sist the Scottish [F#m]force, bound [E]for the Isle of [B]Man
So he gathered up his [F#m]fighters and o[B]beyed the king's com[G#]mand
[VERSE]
Well, the [A]Countess was of [F#m]noble blood, though [E]not of royal[B]ty
Yet brave and as in[F#m]trepid as [B]any man was [G#]she
So the [A]house became a [F#m]fortress, with [E]her good Lord now [B]gone
Her name was Lady [F#m]Charlotte, but they [B]called her Baby[G#]lon [A]
[CHORUS]
So [E]put yourselves in [B]line against [F#m7]Babylon
All [A]ye that bend the [E]bow against the [G#]crown
[E]Train the gunner's [B]sights against [F#m7]Babylon
Till the Eagle's Tower does [A]fall and the walls they are thrown [C#m]down... [F#m]
[VERSE]
Both the [A]puritans and [F#m]Fairfax, to[E]gether they did [B]call
For this one last royal [F#m]stronghold in [B]Lancashire to [G#]fall
So the [A]garrison she [F#m]strengthened and the [E]Eagle Tower was [B]manned
And refusing all con[F#m]ditions, it was [B]then the siege be[G#]gan [A]
[CHORUS]
So [E]put yourselves in [B]line against [F#m7]Babylon
All [A]ye that bend the [E]bow against the [G#]crown
[E]Train the gunner's [B]sights against [F#m7]Babylon
Till the Eagle's Tower does [A]fall and the walls they are thrown [C#m]down... [F#m]
[VERSE]
'Twas [A]in two good months [F#m]when those [E]rebels did re[B]treat
They were cast out from the [F#m]earthworks and [B]driven to de[G#]feat
With dis[A]honour and in [F#m]shame, their [E]siege came to an [B]end
They were routed by a [F#m]lady and two [B]hundred loyal [G#]men [A]
[CHORUS]
So [E]put yourselves in [B]line against [F#m7]Babylon
All [A]ye that bend the [E]bow against the [G#]crown
And [E]train the gunner's [B]sights against [F#m7]Babylon
Till the Eagle's Tower does [A]fall and the walls they are thrown [E]down...
