[A]
[D] No, [A] [Em]
no [D] madness, though [Bm] their sad [D] power may [E] prevail,
[G#]
[E] [A] Can persist, [B] conquer my [Em] country's heart, [A] they rise [D] to fail.
She [A]
is [D] eternal, long [G]
before [Gm] nation's lines were [D]
drawn,
When [Bm] no flags [E] flew, [A] when no armies [D] stood, [A] my [E] land [A] was born.
And [Bm] you ask me why [F#m] I love her, [G] who wars, death and [D] despair,
[G] She is the constant, [G]
we who [A] don't care,
[D] And you wonder will I leave her, but how?
[G]
[A] I cross [D] all the borders, [G] but in [A] skin
[D] and blood,

heart.
