Tuning: Standard

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
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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

So here's one more for our friends
C G
And here's one for our children
