(D)Doesn´t (A)seem quite (Bm)so long a(G)go, The last time that I (A)saw you, (D)Ain´t it (A)funny how the (Bm)memories
(G)grow, Seems they always fold a(A)round you, They (D)tried to (A)break you in a (Bm)living (G)hell, But they
couldn´t (A)find a way, (D)So they (A)killed you in a (Bm)H-Block (G)cell, And hoped that all would (A)turn away, (D)Thought
that your (A)spirit wouldn´t (Bm)rise a(G)gain But you dared to prove them (A)wrong, (D)And in (A)death you tore a(Bm)way
the (G)chains, And let the world hear Freedom´s (A)Song
Chorus Yet the (G)heartache and (A)pain linger (D)on, They´re still (G)here though its so long since
you’ve (A)gone, But we´re (D)stronger (Bm)now you (F#m)showed us (G)how, (Em)Freedom’s (A)fight can be
(D)won(A)
(D)I wish there (A)was an easy (Bm)road to (G)chose, To bring the heartache to an (A)end, (D)But easy (A)roads
are always (Bm)sure to (G)lose, I´ve seen that time and time a(A)gain, (D)If you can (A)stand by me like (Bm)yester(G)day,
I´ll find the strength to carry (A)on, (D)So let your (A)spirit shine a(Bm)long the (G)way, And our day will surely
(A)come
