D5

Verse 1

D5
I feel the wind blowing through my doorway,

it's telling me that the summer's gone,
            Bb5             D5    C5                  D5
and the winter waits in shadow, waiting with the storm.

 
Verse 2

D5
I am old and my bones are weary,

and my son, he is all I have,
           Bb5                D5       C5                 D5
but he has gone to fight for freedom , leaving with my heart.

 
C5                  F5                Bb5                A5
All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands,
             Bb5               F5         C5               D5
but can this freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground ?
           Bb5             F5        Bb5           A5
Can this freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again?

 
D5             Bb5         C5    - A5       D5              D5 
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,        oh, oh.    (2x)

 
Verse 3
       
D5
I watched them sail from the rocks below me,

'twas like the sea in its endless rage,
Bb5                C5        D5     C5               D5
many fall on the road to freedom , dying on the stones.

 

 C5                 F5                 Bb5               A5
All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands,
             Bb5               F5         C5              D5
but can your freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground ?
           Bb5             F5          Bb5          A5
Can your freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again?

 
      D5        Bb5        C5    - A5       D5            
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,        oh, oh.   
      D5        Bb5        C5    - A5       Bb5           D5 
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,        oh, oh. - - - Oh oh.   

 
Verse 4
D5
Late last night, as the world was sleeping, 

I dreamed my boy, he was calling out, 
            Bb5                D5
'Cos he was lost in some dark forest, 
    C5        A5       Bb5    C5              D5
and snow was falling down, falling on the ground.

 
      D5        Bb5        C5    - A5       D5            
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,        oh, oh.
