CAPO 3
G D G
1. When ap-ples still grow in No-vem-ber
C G D
When Blos-soms still bloom from each tree
C G
When leaves are still green in De-cem-ber
D Em
It's then that our land will be free
C G
I wan-der her hills and her val-leys
C D
And still through my sor-row I see
C G
А land that has never known free-dom
D Am Em
And on-ly her ri-vers run free
G D G
2. I drink to the death of her man-hood
C G D
Those men who would ra-ther have died
C G
Than to live in the cold chains of bon-dage
D Am Em
To bring back their rights were de-nied
C G
Oh Where are you now when we need you?
C D
What burns where the flame used to be?
C G
Are ye gone like the snows of last win-ter?
D Am Em
And Will on-ly our ri-vers run free?
Instrumental: G D G | C G D

3. How sweet is life but we're cry-ing
C G D
How mel-low the wine that were dry
C G
How fra-grant the rose but it's dy-ing
D Am Em
How gen-tle the wind but it sighs
C G
What good is in youth when it's age-ing?
C D
What joy is in eyes that can't see?
C G
When there's sor-row in sun-shine and flow-ers
D Am Em
And still on-ly our ri-vers run free
