Traditional Irish – Only Our Rivers Run Free chords
Chords:
Only Our Rivers CAPO 3G D G When apples still grow in NovemberC G D When blossoms still bloom from each treeC G When leaves are still green in DecemberD Bm Em It's then that our land will be freeC G I wander her hills and her valleysC D And still through my sorrow I seeC G A land that has never know freedomD Bm Em And only her rivers run freeI drink to the death of her manhood Those men who'd rather have died Than to live in the cold chains of bondage To bring back thier rights were denied Oh where are you now that we need you What burns where the flame used to be Are ye gone like the snows of last winter And will only our ivers run free How sweet is life but we're crying How mellow the wine but we're dry How fragrant the rose but it's dying How gentle the wind but it sighs What good is in youth when it's aging What joy is in eyes that can't see When there's sorrow in sunshine and laughter And still only our rivers run free
