They (G)wouldn't hear your (C)music
And they (D)pulled your paintings down
They (G)wouldn't read your (Em)writing
And they (D)banned you from the(G)town
But they couldn't stop you (C)dreaming
And a (D)victory you have won
For you (G)sowed the seeds of (Em)freedom
In your (D)daughters and your (G)sons
Chorus
In your (D)daughters and your sons
In your (G)daughters and your (D)sons
You (G)sowed the seeds of (C)freedom
In your (D)daughters and your (G)sons (Harmonica Bridge: (C)7 6 6 (G)6)
Your (G)weary smile it (C)proudly hides
The (D)chainmarks on your hands
As you (G)bravely strive to (Em)realise
The (D)rights of every(G)man
And
though your body's (C)bent and low
A
(D)victory you have won
For you (G)sowed the
seeds of (Em)justice
In your (D)daughters and your (G)sons
Chorus, using JUSTICE
I (G)don't know your re(C)ligion
But one (D)day I heard you pray
For a (G)world where every(Em)one can work
And (D)children they can (G)play
And
though you never (C)got your share
Of
the (D)victories you have won
For you (G)sowed the
seeds of (Em)equaility
In your (D)daughters and your (G)sons
Chorus, using EQUALITY
They (G)taunted you in (C)Belfast
And they (D)tortured you in Spain
And (G)in that Warsaw (Em)ghetto
Where
they (D)tied you up in (G)chains
In
Vietnam and in (C)Chile
Where they (D)came with
tanks and guns
It's (G)there you sowed
the (Em)seeds of peace
In your (D)daughters
and your (G)sons
Chorus, using IT’S (G)THERE
YOU SOWED THE (C)SEEDS OF PEACE
And (G)now your music's (C)playing
And the (D)writing's on the wall
And (G)all the dreams you (Em)painted
Can be (D)seen by one and (G)all
Now
you've got them (C)thinking
And the (D)future's just
begun
For you (G)sowed the seeds of
(Em)freedom
In your (D)daughters and your
(G)sons
