[G] And apples [D] still grow [G] in November [C] And blossoms [G] still bloom from [D] each tree
[C] When trees are still [G] green in December It's [D] when that our land will [Em] be
[G] [C] I travel the hills [G] and the valleys [C] And still through the [B] sorrows I see
[Em] [C] Our land that has never [G] known freedom And [D] still only our rivers [Em] run free
And [D] still only our rivers [Em] run free
I [G] drink to the death of a manhole [C] Those men [G] who'd rather [D] have to die
[C] Than to live in the [G] cold chain of bondage To [D] bring back the rights [Em] we're denied
[C] Oh, where are you [G] now when we need you?
[C] What burns where the flames [B] used to be?
Are [C] you [F#] gone like the [G] snows of last winter?
[D] And still only our rivers [Em] run free
And [D] still only our rivers [Em] run free

How sweet [D] is [G] life but we're crying [C] How [G] mellow the wine [D] that we're trying
[C] How fragrant [G] the rose but it's dying How [D] gentle the wind [Em] but it sighs
[C] What good is in [G] youth when it's aging?
[C] But joy is in the eyes [B] that can't see
[Em] When [C] there's sorrow and [G] sunshine and flowers And [D] still only our rivers [Em] run free
I
[C] travel the hills [G] and the valleys [C] And still through the sorrows [B] I see
Our [C] land that has [G] never known freedom And [D] still only our rivers [Em] run free
