Chords for Bjørn Eidsvåg - Evig hvile (minnekonserten i Oslo domkirke)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ We are a country in grief.
Some have hit us where we are absolutely most vulnerable.
Some have shot our children and young people.
Some have tried to muddle our leadership.
This is done in an attempt to convince us that intolerance,
unification, foreign fear and hatred
should be better than tolerance,
rudeness, diversity and love.
The last week I have traveled around this country,
the last week we have clearly shown
that we never let ourselves be convinced.

_ _ _ [Gm] History is a miracle,
[Dm] we _ [G] _ [A] have a life that breaks all [D] promises.

_ _ _ [Gm] Give them what we want, [F] Lord,
_ _ [E] and shine high [A] so they find their way [Dm] home.

_ [D] It went its way, but we who do not [A] live, _
[E] _ [A] it fought as if possessed before it [D] disappeared, _
[A] _ [D] with destruction and sorrow [A] in its tracks.
It gave up its life and [D] death it won,
[F] _ [Gm] when sorrow bent [Dm] and left it.
_ [E] It does not like to lose [D] a single stroke,
_ [Gm] it is like a woman, [Dm] a treasure,
[G] _ [A] and shall stand upright [D] one day.
But _ not [Gm] this time, [A] not [Dm] now. _
We shall [A] travel _ [Dm] and walk through life.
_ [Gm] Give them what we want, [F] Lord, _
