Intro: G G Emi D/F# x2

Verse:

G D/F# Emi

Walkin' out on a stormy day

C G

The cold wind, the fine sea spray

G D/F# Emi

Lookin' out over Gallway bay

C

The troubled sky, all dark and grey

PreChorus:

C C/B Ami G D/F#

Far from these shores there stands liberty

G

So let it be

C C/B Ami G D/F#

But every while I would remember

[Refrão]

G D/F#

The day we drank moonshine in the rain

C G

And raised our glasses to the wind

C G

The day that we dreamed we could be free

Emi D

And ride on the wings of liberty

G D/F#

So here's one more for our friends

C G

And here's one for our children

C G

Feeling the cold rain on our fingertips

Emi C

And liberty on our lips

verse 2: Same chords as verse 1

G D/F# Emi

So we paid our dues and we packed our rags

C G

Made it through Ellis Island's ranks

G D/F# Emi

Across the waves to America

C G

Hearts and souls to the stripes and the stars

C C/B Ami G D/F#

Far from our shores we found liberty

G

So let it be

C C/B Ami G D/F#

But every while I would remember

[Refrão]

G D/F#

The day we drank moonshine in the rain

C G

And raised our glasses to the wind

C G

The day that we dreamed we could be free

Emi D

And ride on the wings of liberty

G D/F#

So here's one more for our friends

C G

And here's one for our children

C G

Feeling the cold rain on our fingertips

Emi C

And liberty on our lips

verse 3:

G D/F# Emi

So we made our way through the Cumberland Gap

C G

Appalachia never looking back

G D/F# Emi

Through the wind and rain and the cold and pain

C

But nothing evermore could feel the same

C C/B Ami G D/F#

All of this life we strive to be free

G

So let it be

C C/B Ami D/F# G

But every while I would remember
