[Bb] When apples [F] still grow [Bb] in November _ _
And [Eb] blossoms [Bb] still bloom [F] on each tree
_ When _ [Eb] _ leaves they're still green [Bb] in December _ _
It's [F] then that our land will [Gm] be free _ _
I [Eb] wander her hills [Bb] and her valleys _ _
And [Eb] still through my sorrow [D] I see _ _ _
[Eb] A land that has never [Bb] known freedom
_ And [F] still on me her rivers [Gm] run free _ _ _
[Bb] I'll drink [F] to the death [Bb] of her manhood _ _
[Eb] To those men [Bb] who would rather [F] they _ died _
[Eb] Than to live in the cold [Bb] chains of _ bondage

[Eb] Oh where are you now [Bb] when we need you _
What [Eb] _ burns wherever flame [D] used to be _
Are [Eb] you gone like the snows of [Bb] last winter
_ And [F] along thee our rivers [G] run [Gm] free _
How [Bb] sweet [F] is life [Bb] but we're crying

How [Eb] fragrant the rose but [Bb] that's dying _ _ _
[F] How gentle the wind but [Gm] it sighs _ _
[Eb] What good is in youth when [Bb] it's aging
_ What _ [Eb] joy is in eyes that [D] can't see _
