It was music that kept our spirits Am free
Those G songs of yours and C mine

It was music that kept our spirits Am free
Those G songs of yours and C mine

Their lullabies and battle cries and songs of hope and Am joy
So G join us hand in G7 hand
All C across this ancient land, thrFought the test of C time
It was music that kept our spirits Am free
Those G songs of yours and C mine
THIS LAND Chris Byrne (Seanchai)
[chorus]
C This land is F your land, this land is C my land
From the northern G highlands to the western C islands
From the hills of F Kerry to the streets of C Free Am Derry
G This land was made for you and C me
C As I was F walking by the Shannon C water
Hand in G hand with my little C daughter
The church bells F ringing, and the children C singAming
G This land was made for you and C me
[chorus]
C This land is F your land, this land is C my land
From the northern G highlands to the western C islands
From the hills of F Kerry to the streets of C Free Am Derry
G This land was made for you and C me
C So I walked her F home by the old church C steeple
Proud of my G country, proud of my C people
Of the men who F tried there, of the men who C died Am there
G This land was made for you and C me
[chorus]
C This land is F your land, this land is C my land
From the northern G highlands to the western C islands
From the hills of F Kerry to the streets of C Free Am Derry
G This land was made for you and C me
C Then I climbed a F mountain, saw the crystal C fountain
And heard G a great roar from the rocky C sea shore
Her eyes were F gleaming, she cried C oho Am Daddy
G This land was made for you and C me
[chorus]
C This land is F your land, this land is C my land
From the northern G highlands to the western C islands
From the hills of F Kerry to the streets of C Free Am Derry
G This land was made for you and C me
