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.
