Chords for Tobben & Ero - Til en misantrop (Arnulf Øverland). A tribute to Tobben.

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The one who has closed [A] himself in his cave,
[B] Too close to human [E] nature, _ _
And there buries himself [A] in wisdom books, _
[B] And believes it is the truth [E] he seeks, _ _
[A] And the one who believes [B] blossoms and understands, _
[A] And never met the [B] child, the eye's flower,
[E] But seeks the valley's outcrop and [A] the mountain's twig, _
[G#] He [C#m] does [B] not seek and does [E] not want to find, _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] _ But wants to [A] evaluate your own score,
[B] Then it can happen to you as time [E] goes, _ _
In the hope of common hope [A] and humility, _ _ _
[B] That love opens [E] the eye to a little,
And [A] _ you will see [B] what your peace has created,
[A] With thought of [B] yourself, lost and lost,
[E] And with your wealth you will [A] withdraw yourself, _ _
[G#] [C#m] But what you [B] gave, no [E] one can take from you, _
[C#] An [C#] hour's sum for [F#m] a single friend, _ _
[B] Has never reached a new [E] forgiveness, _ _
[C#] A little word to those [F#m] who are your maker, _ _
[A] You will get in the embrace [B] of [E] a smile back, _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ But [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ also, [A] you should not see any fruit,
[B] And even hedges if [E] it dries up, _
For the dreams and hopes [A] let it be green, _ _
[B] And let your vow of [E] striving be fulfilled, _ _
[A] _ Your house will be a [B] home for you again,
[A] _ If someone comes [B] there and asks for you,
[E] And the one who seeks to be in [A] your arms, _
[G#] Will [C#m] give you [B] more power and [E] more warmth, _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] A man is poor, [A] who is without sorrow,
[B] But rich is the one who takes his [E] bread on the table, _
And still shares it with [A] those who need, _ _
[B] Poor is the one who shares [E] his money, _ _
[A] And you in the embrace [B] of a serious cat,
[A] Can make no doubt, [B] look and answer,
[E] But the thought of those [A] who come after, _
[G#] Will [C#m] give you [B] all faith and [E] faith's strength, _
[C#] And if you have taken the blessing [F#m] of your mother, _ _
[B] Then remember that you are not [E] just one, _
[C#] In darkness, tears are shed from [F#m] all sides,
[A] And it is the man, [B] the [E] child who lives, _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[A] Do _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] not seek [A] sorrow, let it come by itself,
[B] But the world, if you can, [E] without a splash, _ _
And do not decorate with [A] a ton of crowns,
[B] All the world's sin, you will not [E] be forgiven,
_ [A] _
If you alone have [B] been deceived, _ _
[A] Think of the Russian, [B] was yourself so rich,
[E] That on the other's place you stood [A] in shame, _
[G#m] You [C#m] or [B] him, it was enough for [E] us together,
_ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[A] And [E] if she is, [A] it is a pause for him,
[B] Against miracles or [E] over power, _
Then you have found yourself a [A] cheap birth, _
[B] And you can eat quietly [E] until death, _ _
[A] It is our struggle, [B] pain, birth and sin,
[A] _ And feel life [B] to the last moment,
[E] And feel the heart beat and the [A] blood burn, _ _
[G#] [C#m] Because we [B] are waiting for something [E] that will happen, _
[A] Yes, [C#] child, you are waiting at a [F#m] crossroads, _ _
[B] And hope something will [E] happen to you, _
[C#] But can you feel the release [F#m] as your own, _
[A] Then you have [B] life on your [E] hands,
Every _
[A] _ day will be lit [B] as a long-suffering, _
[A] And burn down for [B] some, reach their goal,
[E] And all the time you will be pulled [A] towards the star, _
[G#] But [C#m] remember, [B] the earth is [E] a star, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
