_ [B] Mendeleino, from the land [E] of the dead,
I'm going to the land of the dead.
_ Mendeleino, from the land of the dead,
I'm going to the land of the dead.
I'm going to the land of the dead. _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ Lule, lule, [B] _ my tiny child, _
Too soon you'll know the world so wild.
_ Yes, all [C] too soon you will be gone,
_ And I'll bite _ [N]
here alone. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The rushing of arrows _ you shall run,
_ And the light of the [Em] North Star will be your guide.
_ _ But yet awhile _ [N] I'll have you stay,
_ Lule, my _ _ tiny child. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ For you shall run in meadow _ green,
And sport with _ _ altars all in [G] the _ stream.
And you [A] shall [F#] chase the dappled deer,
And swim with salmon _ in the _ _ water's clear.
_ _ To put the _ small [N] birds from the sky
On the tail of the south wind,
You shall fly _ and take the high hills for your home.
_ _ Blood of my _ blood, bone of my _ _ _ _ _ bone,
The moon must _ sleep _ [C#] beyond the tree,
So [B] its sweet mane _ [Bm] of gobbling. _
_ [B] The [C#m] sun must rise before [D#] the cross
To dry [C#m] your _ tears [G] and share your _ loss.
_ The darker _ [D#] star [F#] above the starless night
_ [C] Must bow to the [Em] power _ [Bm] of the eastern _ [N] light
That heals the _ earth and makes us [B] whole.
[A] Heart [B] of my [D#] _ heart, [F#] soul of my soul. _ _ _
And when [E] at last your course is wrong,
Joy of my _ joy, [N] my little _ soul.
_ _ [G] Beneath the [D#]
sky you'll stand [B] _ alone, _
Flesh of my [C#m] _ flesh, bone of my bone. _
Yes, you [Em] shall _ [C#] stand on [Bm] the four [Em] black _ stones
[E] To cross on [Am] the _ [Em] waters _ [G] of the [A]
western [Bm] _ land.
[C] _ But now [G#m] I _ [D#] have you at [B] my breast,
[E] Blue [D#] lay my _ sweet [B] [A] one gently.
