[D] [A] [D]
In the last phase of the war, [A] I went to Høgesund,
to the ship's paint shop, [D] a rent I got there.
And the ship's owner asked,
[G] Do you want to go as a sailor?
He didn't [D] really know [A] where the ship [D] was.
And the [A] ship's owner gave me a special card,
I was to go to the Germans [D] in the Ölnet park,
I got 300 kroner [G] on the ship's [Em] insurance,
[G] and 15 [D] liters of dunder [A] on the ship's [D] purchase book.
But the Germans were in a hurry [A] in every way,
we had to leave [D] Høgesund at seven o'clock,
and up in the bay, [G] the ship's [Em] owner and I,
[G] we went [D] up in the draft, [A] we found a [D] place to stay.
Out by the fjord we stayed, [A] a summer day so fine,
until we were carried [D] on a full speed machine,
which was set on fire in front of you, [G] I got the [Em] first warning,
[G] and the course [D] was cut short, [A] we were left [D] far behind.
On the west side of the fjord, [A] to the Roman I said,
a line or two to Babur, [D] you can take her now.
And the ship's owner asked [G] me if it was [Em] far again,
[G] yes, about [D] half an hour, [A] the sailor said,
and we sailed [D] straight on.
But suddenly we all got so pale,
[A] because the ship was lifting, [D] we had to watch out.
It broke under the bow, [G] we were [Em] dry on land,
[G] and we were [D] crawling over [A] with our backs [D] under the water.
[E] [C#m]
[E] The ship's owner on the bridge [B] is a swan,
and he has no life belt [E] or life jacket,
we throw out the bow, [A] he saves [F#m] himself on board,
so we try [E] to melt [B] a lifeboat [E] over the bridge.
And we got cold to the claws, [B] in a moment of despair,
we could not lift, [E] no, the boat was too heavy.
The shippers whispered, [A] he said we had to go,
he said we [E] had mines, [B] and carbide [E] under deck.
I was two years old, [B] and the hope was on the sea,
I wanted to take the risk, [E] I seldom die,
then I heard a loud bang, a [A] short [F#m] whistle,
[A] between the ships, [E] between the reefs, [B] I was helpless [E] and floating.
But then the boat came up [B] from the ship's west harbour,
and the air he was saved, [E] and all brought ashore.
Then we called to the captain, [A] wondering what [F#m] had happened,
[A] on the half [E]-meter reef, [B] we stood there, [E] we were afraid.
We asked for assistance, [B] and we got it,
a tug pulled us off, [E] and to the captain we went.
But the shipper had written, [A] [F#m] reports sent in the way,
[A] that it was [E] a storm, this [B] he showed me.
[E] I feared for Gestapo, [B] and was so afraid that day,
but then the war was over, [E] and the ship was all flat,
and forward in time, [A] I thought to [F#m] myself,
[A] that time it [E] went well, and [B] you were still a stranger.
[E] [A] That time it [E] went well, and [B] you were still a stranger.
