Together for Norseland

by trad

[A7] In the [Dm] dawn’s light faintly [A7] gleaming,
Stand the [Dm] ancient Norse [D7] land [Gm] walls,
[C] And the [F] land no [Bb] longer [Gm] dreaming
[A7] Now a- [Dm] wakes as [Bb] morning [A7] calls.
[A7] Though the [Dm] winds are coldly [A7] blowing,
Streets [Dm] begin to [D7] hum with [Gm] noise,
[C] And the [F] sun with [Bb] splendor [Gm] glowing,
[A7] Greets the [Dm] land with [A7] all it’s [Dm] joys.

( Chorus
[C7] We’ll [F] shout aloud, for [C7] we are proud,
Our [C7] power [Bdim7] is in- [F] vincible!
[C7] We’ll [F] ne’er dis- [F7] band, We’ll [Bb] always stand,
[Bdim7] To- [F] gether for [C7] Norse- [F] land. )

The days are bright and growing longer,
While the streets grow louder still,
Children’s voices ever stronger
Now are heard more loud and shrill.
Maytime flowers spread their splendor
Over Norseland’s ancient streets
Men and women homage tender
Everyone with joy repeats.

Chorus

When the day is slowly fading
Twilight falls and brings release
From the hardships of parading
Evening suddenly brings peace.
Tis the time for meeting lovers
In the garden in the park
While the twilight gently hovers
Till it’s night and all is dark.

Chorus
