Chords for Your Daughters and Your Sons

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] The kid O'Ranell, apparently, [E] only a good-natured man, Máire Drom,
her poor boss, Máire Drom,
which, [A] _ _ _ _ _
[C] every time the signal's [G] on,
Máire Drom will come in,
[A] come in with [Gm] Máire Drom.
_ _ _ She's_
[C] a nice and beautiful girl.
So the woman who lived in this community,
she dies and is murdered 30 years ago by a lawyer,
[A] especially later in [Eb] her life.
_ [A] But, [Cm] she came from a generation
before part [Ab] of that,
and the rest of us came along and started,
where [E] suddenly things started to [E] move here.
If you can imagine,
[A] _ _
_ _ [G] _ where the [E] struggle was to keep the flame alive,
from one generation [Ab] to another,
you know, _ _ current,
a few of the [Eb] things. _
[G] So [C] this song, though, reminds me of
people who [Ab] are struggling [G] against
the dark days,
without much support, [Eb] visible. _
[Ab] And [G] maybe,
when we think of her and what has [G] happened since,
and the movements in the [Eb] past
that has taken [G] place,
_ maybe it also,
the song [Abm] also [E] refers to
the struggles [C] internationally,
and maybe different struggles are different things.
So maybe we'll [G] sing it as well
for the people in the past,
and in the present.
[Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ So deceived the freedom
in your daughters and your sons,
in your daughters and your sons,
in your daughters and your sons,
_ _ _ [Eb] so deceived the freedom
in your daughters and your sons. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I don't know your [G] religion,
but one day I heard you [Gm] pray,
for a world where everyone is free
and children they can [Eb] play. _
_ Though [Gm] you never got to see
the truth of what we want,
_ you so deceived the freedom
[G] in your [Gm] daughters and your [Eb] sons,
in your [Gm] daughters and your sons,
[Eb] in your daughters and your [Gm] sons.
_ You [Eb] so deceived the freedom
in your daughters and your sons. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ They tortured [G] you in bathes,
and they [Gm] tortured you in spades,
and in the Warsaw ghettos
where they tied you up in [Eb] chains. _
_ _ Vietnam [C] and Belfast
[G] where they came with troops and guns.
_ You so deceived the freedom
in your [Gm] daughters and your sons,
in your daughters and your sons,
[Eb] in your daughters and your [Gm] sons.
_ [Eb] You so deceived the freedom
in your daughters and your sons. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now our music's [Gm] playing,
the writing's on the wall,
_ and all the dreams you think you have
have been seen by everyone and all.
Bright new days dawn,
and our [Bb] future's just [Gm] begun. _
_ We so deceived the freedom
in your daughters and your sons,
in your daughters and your sons,
in your daughters and your sons. _ _
_ We so deceived the freedom
in your daughters and your [Eb] sons. _ _ _ _ _
