Only Our Rivers Run Free
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
F C F G
F C G Am
G Am
[Verse 1]
C G C
When apples still grow in November
F C G
And blossoms still grow from each tree
F C
When leaves are still green in December
G Am
It's then that our lands will be free
[Chorus]
F C
I travelled her hills and her valleys
F G
And still through the sorrows I see
F C
A land that has never known freedom
G Am
And only our rivers run free
G Am
And only our rivers run free
[Verse 2]
C G C
I drink to the death of her manhood
F C G
Those men who'd rather had died
F C
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage
G Am
To bring back their lives were denied
[Chorus]
F C
Oh where are you now when we need you
F G
What burns where the flames used to be
F C
Are you gone like the snows of last winter
G Am
And will only our rivers run free
G Am
And will only our rivers run free
[Verse 3]
C G C
How sweet is life but we're crying
F C G
How mellow the wine but it's dry
F C
How fragrant the rose but it's dying
G Am
How gentle the breeze but it sighs
[Chorus]
F C
What good is in new when it's aging
F G
What joy in the eyes that can't see
F C
When there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers
G Am
And still only our rivers run free
G Am
And still only our rivers run free
F C
I travelled her hills and her valleys
F G
And still through the sorrows I see
F C
A land that has never known freedom
G Am
And only our rivers run free
G Am
And only our rivers run free
[Outro]
G Am
And only our rivers run free
G Am
And only our rivers run free
G Am
And only our rivers run free
G Am
And only our rivers run free
G Am
And only our rivers run free
G Am
And only our rivers run free
