Hi Gary, if you're out there...

I like the way you do 'Only Our Rivers Run Free" with the 'F' 'C'...'Dm?' thing happening. Could you list the chords that you play? Thanks!
As a side bar, do you have any new CDs? Where can I get them?

Here are the lyrics:

When apples still grow in November,
When blossoms still grow from each tree,
When leaves are still green in December,
It's then that our land will be free.
I wander the hills and valleys,
And still through my sorrow I see,
A land that has never known freedom,
And only her rivers run free.

I drink to the death of her manhood
Those men who'd rather have died
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage
To bring back their rights where denied.
Oh, where are you now that we need you,
What burns where the flame used to be
Are you gone like the snow of last winter
And will only our rivers run free?

How sweet is life, but we're crying
How mellow the wine, but we're dry.
How fragrant the rose, but it's dying
How gentle the wind, but it sighs.
What good is in youth when it's aging?
What good is in eyes that can't see?
Whem there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers
And still only our rivers run free.

Here are the lyrics:
This is the way I play this song, and i tend to stick to the Christy Moore version, hope this helps...
C When apples still G grow in C November,
When F blossoms still C grow from each G tree,
When F leaves are still green in C December,
It's Dm then that our Em land will be Am free.
I F wander the hills and C valleys,
And F still through my sorrow I Em see,
A F land that has never known C freedom,
And Dm only her Em rivers run Am free.

I drink to the death of her manhood
Those men who'd rather have died
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage
To bring back their rights where denied.
Oh, where are you now that we need you,
What burns where the flame used to be
Are you gone like the snow of last winter
And will only our rivers run free?

How sweet is life, but we're crying
How mellow the wine, but we're dry.
How fragrant the rose, but it's dying
How gentle the wind, but it sighs.
What good is in youth when it's aging?
What good is in eyes that can't see?
Whem there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers
And still only our rivers run free.


Sorry about the quality of the reply its my first attempt at adding chords 2 a request...I also use a capo on the 3rd fret...but thats a personal choice as it suites my voice...hope it helps!

I'm sure I put the chords for this up just a little while ago? Maybe not but I'm sure I did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
