Freedom's Walk Irish Song Lyrics And Chords

Written By Paddy McGuigan , recorded by The Barleycorn and by Pádraig Mór. Guitar chords by Marc Fahrbach. One of the most beautiful sad songs I've ever heard, a true testament to one of Ireland's greatest songwriters. Another of Paddy McGuigan's songs The Boys Of The Old Brigade Song is even better known than this one.

The sheet music / tin whistle notes are in the ebook of rebel songs

(C)Cold and dark the (Am)morning, (G)just before the (C)sun
A (F)new day is (C)breaking, our (Dm)struggle has be(G)gone
The (C)people are to(Am)gether, (G)we shall be (C)free
In (F)this land, our (C)homeland our (Dm)own de(G)mocra(C)cy.
 
Chorus:
Come (C)all you lads and (Am)lassies, (G)rally to our (C)cause
And (F)seek the abo(C)lition of (Dm)loose old-fashioned (G)laws
(C)There will something (Am)every eye (G)let the people (C)see
What (F)this land, our (C)homeland, (Dm)means to (G)you and (C)me.
 
On the road together walk hand in hand
And ring the bell of justice over all the land
For the world is waiting, watching you and me
In this land, our homeland our own democracy.
 
Chorus
 
How far must we travel till our journey’s done,
How long must we struggle till the fight is won?
May we live in peace again, may we live to see
This land of ours a homeland, a true democracy?
