[Verse]
A F#m E B
To the halls of Latham House, the king he did proclaim
F#m B G#
That the seventh Earl of Derby, James Stanley was his name
A F#m E B
Should resist the Scottish force, bound for the Isle of Man
F#m B G#
So he gathered up his fighters and obeyed the king's command
[Verse]
A F#m E B
Well, the Countess was of noble blood, though not of royalty
F#m B G#
Yet brave and as intrepid as any man was she
A F#m E B
So the house became a fortress, with her good Lord now gone
F#m B G# A
Her name was Lady Charlotte, but they called her Babylon
[Chorus]
E B F#m7
So put yourselves in line against Babylon
A E G#
All ye that bend the bow against the crown
E B F#m7
Train the gunner's sights against Babylon
A C#m F#m
Till the Eagle's Tower does fall and the walls they are thrown down...
[Verse]
A F#m E B
Both the puritans and Fairfax, together they did call
F#m B G#
For this one last royal stronghold in Lancashire to fall
A F#m E B
So the garrison she strengthened and the Eagle Tower was manned
F#m B G# A
And refusing all conditions, it was then the siege began
[Chorus]
E B F#m7
So put yourselves in line against Babylon
A E G#
All ye that bend the bow against the crown
E B F#m7
Train the gunner's sights against Babylon
A C#m F#m
Till the Eagle's Tower does fall and the walls they are thrown down...
[Verse]
A F#m E B
'Twas in two good months when those rebels did retreat
F#m B G#
They were cast out from the earthworks and driven to defeat
A F#m E B
With dishonour and in shame, their siege came to an end
F#m B G# A
They were routed by a lady and two hundred loyal men
[Chorus]
E B F#m7
So put yourselves in line against Babylon
A E G#
All ye that bend the bow against the crown
E B F#m7
And train the gunner's sights against Babylon
A E
Till the Eagle's Tower does fall and the walls they are thrown down...
[Chorus]
B F#m7
So put yourselves in line against Babylon
A E G#
All ye that bend the bow against the crown
E B F#m7
Train the gunner's sights against Babylon
A C#m
Till the Eagle's Tower does fall and the walls they are thrown down...
