Only Our Rivers Run Free Chords

(ver. 1)
Kelly Family
[Intro]
F C F G
F C G Am
G Am
 
[Verse 1]
     C            G         C
When apples still grow in November
    F              C              G
And blossoms still grow from each tree
     F                           C
When leaves are still green in December
     G                           Am
It's then that our lands will be free
 
 
[Chorus]
  F                           C
I travelled her hills and her valleys
    F                           G
And still through the sorrows I see
  F                         C
A land that has never known freedom
    G                   Am
And only our rivers run free
    G                   Am
And only our rivers run free
 
 
[Verse 2]
  C            G            C
I drink to the death of her manhood
      F         C          G
Those men who'd rather had died
        F                          C
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage
   G                           Am
To bring back their lives were denied
 
 
[Chorus]
   F                         C
Oh where are you now when we need you
     F                              G
What burns where the flames used to be
        F                           C
Are you gone like the snows of last winter
         G                   Am
And will only our rivers run free
         G                   Am
And will only our rivers run free
 
 
[Verse 3]
    C        G              C
How sweet is life but we're crying
    F          C             G
How mellow the wine but it's dry
    F                          C
How fragrant the rose but it's dying
    G                        Am
How gentle the breeze but it sighs
 
 
[Chorus]
     F                        C
What good is in new when it's aging
     F                          G
What joy in the eyes that can't see
             F                      C
When there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers
          G                   Am
And still only our rivers run free
          G                   Am
And still only our rivers run free
 
  F                           C
I travelled her hills and her valleys
    F                           G
And still through the sorrows I see
  F                         C
A land that has never known freedom
    G                   Am
And only our rivers run free
    G                   Am
And only our rivers run free
 
 
[Outro]
    G                   Am
And only our rivers run free
    G                   Am
And only our rivers run free
    G                   Am
And only our rivers run free
    G                   Am
And only our rivers run free
    G                   Am
And only our rivers run free
    G                   Am
And only our rivers run free
