C G C
The winds are singing freedom
C G C
They sing it everywhere
F G Am
They sing it on the mountainside
F G (G7)
And in the city square
C F C
They sing of a new day dawning
C F C
When our people will be free
F G Am
Come and join their song of freedom
F G C
Let it ring from sea to sea
[Verse 2]
C G C
In the battered streets of Belfast
C G C
Can't you hear the people cry?
F G Am
For justice long denied them
F G (G7)
And their crying fills the sky
C F C
But the winds of change are singing
C F C
Bringing hope from dark despair
F G Am
There's a day of justice coming
F G C
You can feel it in the air
[Verse 3]
C G C
Too long our people suffered
C G C
In their misery and their tears
F G Am
And foreign rulers used our land
F G (G7)
For about eight hundred years
C F C
It's a long road has no turning
C F C
And I know that soon we'll see
F G Am
That day of justice dawning
F G C
When our people will be free
[Chorus]
C G C
There's a time laid out for laughing
C G C
There's a time laid out to weep
F G Am
There's a time laid out for sowing
F G G7
And a time laid out to reap
C F C
There's a time to love your brother
C F C
There's a time for hate to cease
F G Am
You must sow the seeds of justice
F G C
To reap the fruits of peace
C G C
There's a time laid out for laughing
C G C
There's a time laid out to weep
F G Am
There's a time laid out for sowing
F G G7
And a time laid out to reap
C F C
There's a time to love your brother
C F C
There's a time for hate to cease
F G Am
You must sow the seeds of justice
F G C
To reap the fruits of peace
