And the legend is that 10 ,000 people were
hung by him
Bb

from the top of a tall pine tree
on the top of the hill of Arirang,
which is outside Seoul.
One of the men condemned to death,
as he marched his last mile,
he sang a song saying
Eb
how much he loved his country,
how beautiful it was,
how he hated to say goodbye to it.
Db
It was picked up by the other prisoners,
Eb
and it became a tradition in Korea
Eb
that any man ever condemned to death
Bb
had a right to sing this song
Eb
before his execution.
Well, like many a folk song,
it spread through the country,
it had verses added to it,
Bb
and different variations on the melody.
when Japan took over Korea
Eb
and tried to make a colony out of it,
Eb
they abolished the singing,
made it a prison offense

to sing the national anthem of Korea
or any patriotic songs.

And Arirang be came kind
of an unofficial anthem.
