Only Our Rivers Run Free Lyrics And Guitar Chords
Written by Michael McConnell. These Are The Easy Guitar Chords I Use On The Youtube Video. I have the capo on the 4th fret and am playing in the key of B Major. It's a bit tricky trying to find the right key for this song as it goes a bit high, still B doesn't sound too bad. It was recorded by Christy Moore, The Wolfe Tones, Eire Og, Planxty, Paddy Reilly, The Irish Brigade, Angelo Kelly, Tommy Flemming who sings the old Irish / American ballad When You Were Sweet Sixteen song, to name a few. The guitar chords are in C in chordpro .
Lyrics With Guitar Chords
When[C] apples stil[G]l grow in Novem[C]ber,when[F] blossoms still[C] bloom on each[G] tree,
When[F] leaves are still green in[C] December,it's[G] then that our land will be[Am] free,
I[F] wandered her hills and her[C] valleys,and[F] still through my sorrow I[G] see,
A[F] land that has never known[C] freedom,and[G] only our rivers run[Am] free,
[2]
I drink to the death of her manhood,those men who would rather have died,
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage,to bring back their rights were denied,
Oh where are you now that we need you,what burns where the flame used to be,
Are you gone like the snows of last winter,and will only our rivers run free.
[3]
How sweet is a life but were 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 ageing,what joy is in eyes that cant see,
When theres sorrow in sunshine and flowers,and still only our rivers run free.
When[C] apples stil[G]l grow in Novem[C]ber,when[F] blossoms still[C] bloom on each[G] tree,
When[F] leaves are still green in[C] December,it's[G] then that our land will be[Am] free,
I[F] wandered her hills and her[C] valleys,and[F] still through my sorrow I[G] see,
A[F] land that has never known[C] freedom,and[G] only our rivers run[Am] free,
[2]
I drink to the death of her manhood,those men who would rather have died,
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage,to bring back their rights were denied,
Oh where are you now that we need you,what burns where the flame used to be,
Are you gone like the snows of last winter,and will only our rivers run free.

How sweet is a life but were 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 ageing,what joy is in eyes that cant see,
