Capo 2


C  G  Am  D  G
G  G7  F  C  F  Dm  G  G7


C   G        C                   Am   F            C
No man, no madness, though their sad power may prevail
     G        A            Dm  A     Dm          G7     C
can possess, conquer, my country's heart, they rise to fail
C   G   C              Am     F                   C
She is eternal, long before nations' lines were drawn
          C    D             G  D    G    C   D        G
when no flags flew, when no armies stood, my land was born

     Am                Em              F     Dm         C
And you ask me why I love her through wars, death and despair
 F           C        F      Dm    G
she is the constant, we who don't care
    Am   F                  Em         F        C
And you wonder will I leave her - but how?
 F   G         C  G    C   F    G          C
I cross over borders, but I'm still there now


F  C  G  C  C7
F  C  F  G  G7  C  C7


 F          C          G             E
How can I leave her? Where would I start?
 F     G         C  G     C    F   G      Am
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart !
 F   G          C  G    C  F G         C  F  G  F  C
