[Intro]
Ab
[Verse]
Db
They wouldn't hear your music
Eb
And they pulled your paintings down
Ab Db
They wouldn't read your writing
Eb Ab
And they banned you from the town
[Verse]
Db
But they couldn't stop you dreaming
Eb
And a victory you've won
Ab Db
For you sowed the seeds of freedom
Eb Ab
In your daughters and your sons
[Chorus]
Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Db
You sowed the seeds of freedom
Eb Ab Db
In your daughters and your sons
[Verse]
Ab Db
Your weary smile it proudly hides
Eb
The chain marks on your hands
Ab Db
When you strive to realise
Eb Ab
The rights of everyone
[Verse]
Db
And though your body's bent and low
Eb
A victory you've won
Ab Db
For you sowed the seeds of justice
Eb Ab
In your daughters and your sons
[Chorus]
Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Db
You sowed the seeds of justice
Eb Ab Db
In your daughters and your sons
[Verse]
Ab Db
Well, I don't know your religion
Eb
But one day I heard you pray
Ab Db
For a world where everyone can work
Eb Ab
And children they can play
[Verse]
Db
Though you never had your share
Eb
Of the fruits that you have won
Ab Db
You sowed the seeds of equality
Eb Ab
In your daughters and your sons
[Chorus]
Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Db
You sowed the seeds of equality
Eb Ab Db
In your daughters and your sons
[Verse]
Ab Db
Well, they taunted you in Belfast
Eb
And they tortured you in Spain
Ab Db
And in that Warsaw ghetto
Eb Ab
Where they tied you up in chains
[Verse]
Db
In Vietnam and in Chile
Eb
Where they came with tanks and guns
Ab Db
It's there you sowed the seeds of peace
Eb Ab
In your daughters and your sons
[Chorus]
Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Db
It's there you sowed the seeds of peace
Eb Ab Db
In your daughters and your sons
[Verse]
Ab Db
And now the music's playing
Eb
And the writing's on the wall
Ab Db
And all the dreams you painted
Eb Ab
Can be seen by one and all
[Verse]
Db
And now you've got them thinking
Eb
And the future's just begun
Ab Db
For you sowed the seeds of freedom
Eb Ab
In your daughters and your sons
[Chorus]
Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Db
You sowed the seeds of freedom
Eb Ab
In your daughters and your sons
[Chorus]
Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Eb
In your daughters and your sons
Ab Db
You sowed the seeds of freedom
Eb Ab
In your daughters and your sons
