Well, the Bible tells about a man
                      E       A
Who ruled Babylon and all its land
Around the city he built a wall
                                E     A
And declared that Babylon would never fall
He had concubines and wives
                       E   A
He called his Babylon "Paradise"
 A
Upon his throne he drank and ate
                          E
But for Belshazzer it was getting late
 
Chorus:
A
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
                                  E
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
       A
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
    E                          A
His houses were built upon the sand
 
A
Well, the people feasted and drank their wine
                           E
And praised the false gods of his time
A
All holy things were scorned and mocked
                   E
Suddenly all their mocking stopped
A
For on the wall there appeared a hand
                    E
Nothing else, there was no man
A
In blood the hand began to write
                        E        A
And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
 
 
Chorus:
A
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
                                  E
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
       A
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
    E                          A
His houses were built upon the sand
 
A
Well, no one around could understand
                        E      A
What was written by the mystic hand
Belshazzar tried but couldn't find
                         E        A
A man who could give him peace of mind
 
Daniel the prophet, a man of God
                          E       A
He saw the writing on the wall in blood
 
Belshazzar asked him what it said
                         E        A
And Daniel turned to the wall and read
 
Chorus:
A
My friend, you're weighed in the balance and found wanting
                                    E
Your kingdom was divided, it can't stand
        A
You are weighed in the balance and found wanting
     E                          A
Your houses were built upon the sand
