Chords for Odd Nordstoga & Ingebjørg Bratland - Dette landet (Grunnlovsjubileet 2014)

_ _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ [F] _ _ _ I just want to say a word, I [G] want to point at [C] a trail,
[G] I want to turn the music [F] down and [C] give a message, _
I [Bb] want to look for [F] a cause, that [G] lies and rots [Em] down there,
[C] _ that [Gm] is true and that [F] is forgotten and [C] forgotten,
I [F] want to say [Am] that [Bb] my brother, this [Dm] land where [C] they live, _
_ I [F] want to say [C] that it [Bb] has joy and [A] _
_ [Dm] sadness,
[F] _ [Bb] to remember [F] the fine [Gm] and secret [F] ocean,
[Dm] that gives air and [F] wide waves for my song.
I _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] would like [F] to _ sing [Gm] a [C] big song, [Gm] about the waves [F] and the white [C] and snow, _
[Bb] but I turn the [F] music down and [Gm]
I stand [C] by it,
[Gm] like a brother, [F] I [C] want to pray,
_ I [F] want to [C] say that [Bb] my brother, _ _ [Dm] this land [C] where they live,
I [F] want to [C] say that [Bb] I meant [A] what [Dm] I saw,
[F] _ [Bb] that I took and [F] I shed, [Gm] for flowers [F] and [C] leaves,
[Dm] and thanks to that [C] I have [F] a home.
_ [G] And all that [C] I can [Dm] _
do,
[C] for Norway [F] is a small [Gm] dot in the north,
_ [Bb] but the sea [F] is a small [Bb] dot in [F] Rome,
_ [Dm] so the [C] king is [F] just as [Bb] [F] big.
It is not [G] true that [C] there are few, [Bb] but [Dm] many,
_ [E] it is not true that [F] their measure is [Gm]
great,
_ [C] [Bb] and it is true that [F] I love [Bb] this land,
and [F] the [Dm] one you meet [C] along the way [F] is your brother.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _
_ _ [Bb] I just want to [F] say a word, I want to [Gm] point [C] at a trail,
I [Gm] am born [F] from [Gm] the big [C] blue _ earth,
[Bb] from the forest [F] and from the sea,
[Gm] from everything that [C] is high and far,
soon [Gm] I will [F] find the [C] way out of the word,
[F] before it [C] calls [Bb] to us, brother,
_ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[F] before it [C] calls [Bb] to be [A] our [Dm] home.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] To be [F] the fine [Gm] and secret [F] harbor,
[Dm] that shines [C] us against [F] and is our land.
[Bb] To [F] be the [Bb] fine and [F] secret harbor,
[Dm] that shines us [C] against and [F] is our land.
