[D]
When apples [A] still grow [D] in November, [G] when blossoms [D] still bloom [A] from each tree,
[G] when leaves are still green [D] in December, [Bm]
[A] it's then that [F#m] our land [Bm] will be free.
I [G] wander her hills and [D] her valleys, [Bm]
[G] and still through [Bm] my sorrow [F#m] I see
[G] a land that has never [D] known freedom, [Bm] [A] and only [F#m] her rivers [Bm] run free.
[D] I drink [A] to the death [D] of her mandible, [G] those men [D] who'd rather [A] have died
than [G] to live in the cold [D] chains of [Bm] bondage, [A] to bring back their rights were [Bm]
denied.
Oh, [G] where are you now when [D] we need you?
[Bm] [G] What burns [Bm] where the flame [F#m] used to be?
Are [G] you gone like snows of [D] last winter, [Bm] and [A] will only [F#m] our rivers [Bm] run free?

How [G]
fragrant the rose, but [D] it's dying.
[Bm] [A] How gentle [F#m] the breeze, but [Bm] it sighs.
[G] What good is in youth when [D] it's aging?
[Bm] [G] What joy is [Bm] an eyes that [F#m] can't see?
When [G] there's sorrow in sunshine [D] and [Bm] flowers, [A] and still only [F#m] our rivers [Bm] run free.
