Artist: Chris De Burgh
Intro
Dm
Verse 1
Dm
I feel the wind blowing through my doorway,
it's telling me that the summer's gone,
BbDmCDm
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,
BbDmCDm
but he has gone to fight for freedom, leaving with my heart.
CFBbA
All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands,
BbFCDm
but can this freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground ?
BbFBbA
Can this freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again?
DmBbC -ADmDm
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,
BbCDmCDm
many fall on the road to freedom, dying on the stones.
CFBbA
All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands,
BbFCDm
but can your freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground ?
BbFBbA
Can your freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again?
DmBbC -ADm
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh.
DmBbC -ABbDm
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,
BbDm
'Cos he was lost in some dark forest,
CABbCDm
and snow was falling down, falling on the ground.
DmBbC -ADm
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh.
