When apples still [A] grow in [D] November, when [G] blossoms still [D] bloom from each [A] tree,
[G] when leaves are still green in [D]
December, [Bm] [A] it's then [F#m] that our land [Bm] will be free.
I [G]
wander her hills [D] and her valleys, [Bm] [G] and still through [Bm] my sorrow [F#m] I see
[G] a land that has never [D] known freedom, [Bm] [A] and only [F#m] her rivers [Bm] run free.
I [D] drink [A] to the death of [D] her manhood, [G] those men [D] who'd rather [A] have died
than [G] to live in the cold chains [D] of [Bm] bondage, [A] to bring back [F#m] their rights where [Bm]
denied.
Oh, [G] where are you now when [D] we need you?
[Bm] [G] What burns where the [Bm] flame used [F#m] to be?
Are you gone like snows of [D] last winter, [Bm] and [A] will only our rivers run [Bm] free?

[G] how fragrant the rose [D] but it's dying, [Bm] [A] how gentle [F#m] the breeze but [Bm] it sighs.
[G] What good is in youth when [D] it's aging?
[Bm] [G] What joy [Bm] is in eyes that [F#m] can't see?
