[D]
When apples [A] still grow in [D] November, [G] when blossoms [D] still bloom from [A] each tree,
[G] when leaves are still green [D] in December, [Bm] [A] it's then that [F#m] our land will [Bm] be free.
[G] I wander her hills and [D] her valleys, [Bm] [G] and still [Bm] through 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.
I [D] drink [A] to the death [D] of her mambo, [G] those men [D] who'd rather [A] have died
[G] than to live in the cold [D] chains of [Bm] bondage, to [A] bring [F#m] back their rights [Bm] where denied.
[G] Oh, where are you now [D] when we need [Bm] you?
[G] What burns [Bm] where the flame [F#m] used to be?
[G] Are you gone like snows [D] of last winter,
[Bm] [A] and will only [F#m] our rivers [Bm] run free?
