Only Our Rivers Run Free Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]And apples still gro[A]w in
Novem[D]ber
[G]When blossoms still [D]bloom
from each [A]tree
When [G]leaves are still green
in [D]December[Bm]
[A]It's then that our [F#m]land will be free
[Bm]

[Verse 2]
[G]I wander her hills and her [D]valley[Bm]s
[G]And still through my [Bm]sorrow I [F#m]see
A [G]land that has never known
[D]freedom[Bm]
[A]And only her [F#m]rivers run [Bm]free

[Verse 3]
[D]I drink to [A]the death of her [D]manhood
Those [G]men who'd [D]rather have [A]died
Than [G]to live in the cold chains of [D]bondage
[Bm]To bring[A] back there
[F#m]rights were denied
[Bm]

[Verse 4]
Oh, [G]where are you now when
we [D]need [Bm]you?
What [G]burns were [Bm]the flame used to [F#m]be?
Are [G]you gone like the snows
of last [D]winter?[Bm]
And [A]will only our [F#m]rivers run free?

[Verse 5]
[D]How sweet is the [A]life but
we're cry[D]ing
[G]How mellow [D]the wine but it's [A]dry
How [G]fragrant the rose
but it's [D]dying[Bm]
How [A]gentle [F#m]the breeze but it sighs
[Bm]

[Verse 6]
What [G]good is in youth when
it's [D]aging?[Bm]
What [G]joy is in [Bm]eyes that can't [F#m]see?
When there's [G]sorrow in sunshine
and [D]flower[Bm]s
And still [A]only our [F#m]rivers run free
