Tommy Fleming - Only Our Rivers Run Free (Live) chords
Start Jamming...
[G] Lots of people could call this a Republican song.
I call it a love song for a country.
It's a song called Only Our Rivers Run Free.
When apples still grow in November
When blossoms still bloom from each tree
When leaves are still green in December
It's then that our land will be free
I wander on hills and a valley
And still through my sorrow I see
That as never known freedom
I'm still only your run free
I drink to the [A] dead
[G] I'm mad love to those [C] men who
[G] Rather have died than to [C] live
In the cold chains of [G] bondage
To bring [D] back their rights were [Em] denied
Oh [C] well, you know we [G] needed
War [C] burns where the flame used to [B] be
I [C] got like the [D] snows of last winter
And [Em] still [D] only your run [Em] free

[E] [D] How sweet [G] is our [C] life but [G] we're crying
[C] How mellow [G]
white but [D] we're dry
[G] [C] How fragrant the rose but it's [G] dying
[Em]
How [D] gentle the wind but it's [E] sighing
[Em] What [C] good is it in youth when [G] it's aging
What [C] joy is it in the can't [B] see
Where [C] there's sorrow in [D] sunshine and [G] flowers
[Em] I'm still [D] only your run [Em] free
[E] I'm still [D] only your run
[C] free
[Am]
