The road to freedom (intro) (sample)

Dm ~ ~

Dm

1. 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.

Dm

2. 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)

Dm

3. 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.

Dm

4. 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.
