A Nation Once Again Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Whe[G]n[Em][D][C][D][G]
boyhood's fire was in my blood
[Em]I read of anci[D]ent freemen,[G]
For Greece and Rome
who bravely stood,
Three [Em]hun [D]dred men and three men;
And then I prayed I yet might see
Our [C]fetters rent in [G]twain,
And [Em]Ire [C]land. long a[D] province, be
A Na[G]tion [D]Once [G]Again!

[Verse 2]
Chorus: [G]A Nation
Once [Em]Again,[C]
A Na[D]tion Once Again,
And Ire[G]land, long a [C]province, [D]be
A Nation Once [G]Again!

[Verse 3]
And [G]from [Em]that [G]time, through wildest woe,
That [Em]hope [C]has [D]shown a far [G]light,
Nor could love's brightest summer glow
[Em]Outshine that sole[D]mn starlight;
It seemed to watch above my head
In [Em]forum, [C]field and[Em] fame[G],
Its [Em]an g[C]el voice sang ro[D]und my bed,
[G][D][G]
[C]A Nat[D]ion Once Again.

[Verse 4]
Chorus. [G]It
[C]whi[D]spe[G]r'd[Em][G][Em][C][D][G]
too, that [Em]freedom's [D]ark,
And service [C]high and holy,
Would [G]be profaned [Em]by feeling d[C]ark
And pas[D]sions vain or lowly;
For, [G]Freedom [D]comes [G]from
[Em]God's [C]right hand,
And need[D]s a godly train;
And [G]righteous men must [C]make our [D]land
A Nation Once [G]Again!
Chorus.
