When ^Capples still ^Ggrow in No-^Cvember When ^Fblossoms still ^Cbloom from each ^Gtree When ^Fleaves are still ^Fgreen in De-^Ccember It's ^Gthen that our ^Gland will be ^Amfree I ^Fwander her ^Fhills and her ^Cvalleys And ^Fstill through my ^Fsorrow I ^Gsee A ^Fland that has ^Fnever know ^Cfreedom And ^Gonly her ^Grivers run ^Amfree

I ^Cdrink to the ^Gdeath of her ^Cmanhood Those ^Fmen who'd ^Crather have ^Gdied Than to ^Flive in the ^Fcold chains of ^Cbondage To ^Gbring back their ^Grights were ^Amdenied Oh ^Fwhere are you ^Fnow that we ^Cneed you What ^Fburns where the ^Fflame used to ^Gbe Are ye ^Fgone like the ^Fsnows of last ^Cwinter And will ^Gonly our ^Grivers run ^Amfree

How ^Csweet is ^Glife but we're ^Ccrying How ^Fmellow the ^Cwine but we're ^Gdry How ^Ffragrant the ^Frose but it's ^Cdying How ^Ggentle the ^Gwind but it ^Amsighs What ^Fgood is in ^Fyouth when it's ^Caging What ^Fjoy is in ^Feyes that can't ^Gsee When there's ^Fsorrow in ^Fsunshine and ^Cflowers And still ^Gonly our ^Grivers run ^Amfree
