D
O'er the green mountains and
G
O'er the green valleys
D
I've walked through the country
A
And felt me an age
D
A people so strong
G A
They resist for so long
F#m D
The boundaries that hold them
[Verse 2]
D
Children can sing of
G
the coming of Spring
D
A young man can't defend
A
What he knows to be wrong
D
Women so strong
G A
Needing peace for so long
F#m D
The homelands lie broken
[Chorus]
D
So the refugee walks such
G D
A long lonely road
D
As the weak will die off
A
Make the young people old
D
To redeem a whole country
G A
For selling its soul
F#m D
To the bastions of war
[Solo]
[Chorus]
D
So the refugee walks such
G D
A long lonely road
D
As the weak will die off
A
Make the young people old
D
To redeem a whole country
G A
For selling its soul
F#m D
To the bastions of war
[Verse 3]
D G
Weep a fresh tear for the mass graves
D
I fear won't be long
A
As the young perish fast to the land
D G
Wiping the tears from the young
A F#m D
Gifted years, the millions lay down
[Verse 4]
D
O'er the green mountains and
G
O'er the green valleys
D
I've walked through the country
A
And felt me an age
D
A people so strong
G A
They resist for so long
F#m D
The boundaries that hold them
