Intro
  
Dm

Verse 1

Dm
I feel the wind blowing through my doorway,

it's telling me that the summer's gone,
            Bb             Dm    C                  Dm
and the winter waits in shadow, waiting with the storm.

 
Verse 2

Dm
I am old and my bones are weary,

and my son, he is all I have,
           Bb                Dm       C                 Dm
but he has gone to fight for freedom, leaving with my heart.

 
C                  F                Bb                A
All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands,
             Bb               F         C               Dm
but can this freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground ?
           Bb             F        Bb           A
Can this freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again?

 
Dm             Bb         C    - A       Dm              Dm 
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,        oh, oh.    (2x)

 
Verse 3
       
Dm
I watched them sail from the rocks below me,

'twas like the sea in its endless rage,
Bb                C        Dm     C               Dm
many fall on the road to freedom, dying on the stones.

 

 C                 F                 Bb               A
All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands,
             Bb               F         C              Dm
but can your freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground ?
           Bb             F          Bb          A
Can your freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again?

 
      Dm        Bb        C    - A       Dm            
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,        oh, oh.   
      Dm        Bb        C    - A       Bb           Dm 
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,        oh, oh. - - - Oh oh.   

 
Verse 4
Dm
Late last night, as the world was sleeping, 

I dreamed my boy, he was calling out, 
            Bb                Dm
'Cos he was lost in some dark forest, 
    C        A       Bb    C              Dm
and snow was falling down, falling on the ground.

 
      Dm        Bb        C    - A       Dm            
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,        oh, oh.
