C              G       C
The winds are singing freedom
 C           G      C
They sing it everywhere
     F       G       Am
They sing it on the mountainside
    F             G     (G7)
And in the city square
 C              F       C
They sing of a new day dawning
 C              F       C
When our people will be free
          F         G       Am
Come and join their song of freedom
       F          G      C
Let it ring from sea to sea

[Verse 2]
 C              G           C
In the battered streets of Belfast
 C              G           C
Can't you hear the people cry?
     F       G       Am
For justice long denied them
           F              G     (G7)
And their crying fills the sky
 C              F       C
But the winds of change are singing
 C              F       C
Bringing hope from dark despair
          F         G       Am
There's a day of justice coming
      F          G      C
You can feel it in the air

[Verse 3]
 C              G           C
Too long our people suffered
 C              G           C
In their misery and their tears
     F       G       Am
And foreign rulers used our land
           F              G     (G7)
For about eight hundred years
 C              F       C
It's a long road has no turning
 C              F       C
And I know that soon we'll see
          F         G       Am
That day of justice dawning
      F          G      C
When our people will be free


[Chorus]
 C              G           C
There's a time laid out for laughing
 C              G           C
There's a time laid out to weep
     F       G       Am
There's a time laid out for sowing
           F              G     G7
And a time laid out to reap
 C              F       C
There's a time to love your brother
 C              F       C
There's a time for hate to cease
          F         G       Am
You must sow the seeds of justice
       F          G      C
To reap the fruits of peace

 C              G           C
There's a time laid out for laughing
 C              G           C
There's a time laid out to weep
     F       G       Am
There's a time laid out for sowing
           F              G     G7
And a time laid out to reap
 C              F       C
There's a time to love your brother
 C              F       C
There's a time for hate to cease
          F         G       Am
You must sow the seeds of justice
       F          G      C
To reap the fruits of peace
