Swallow the Sun - Songs From The North

      13. Songs From The North

[Intro]
Am G F Dm 3x

[Verse 1]
Am                G
Oh Mother North, eyes like blue sapphires
    F                       Dm
I'm lost in your wilderness, in your arms
Am                 G 
From your love my heart has been forged
  F
Eternal nights, to ever-light
Dm
To winter's throne

[Chorus]

Em    C       G            D   Em        C
"Niin laulut Pohjolan kun sammuu, hiipuu hiljaa
G             D      Em     C       G              D      Em
Hallatar kun viljaa lyö, ja yö tuo kuninkaan tuon talven maan
     C         G         D           Bm
Niin routaan kaivetaan, lepoon omaan maan
    G       Bm     G
Ja laulut Pohjolan mukaan vain saan"

Am G F Dm


[Verse 2]
Am                G
Oh Mother North, lakes like blue sapphires
F                             Dm
Under your skies, into the wild I drown my sorrows


[Chorus]

Em    C       G            D   Em        C
"Niin laulut Pohjolan kun sammuu, hiipuu hiljaa
G             D      Em     C       G              D      Em
Hallatar kun viljaa lyö, ja yö tuo kuninkaan tuon talven maan
     C         G         D           Bm
Niin routaan kaivetaan, lepoon omaan maan

[Bridge]

Gbm 
At the midnight hour of sacred light
Gbm
The magic of these woods, so alive

Gbm
The shadows of the giants in a silvery dark light
Gbm
From the snowy trees ahead
Gbm
And their slow march closer to the flaming night skies
Gbm
To touch the tail of fire

Gbm
But their roots hold the secrets, these melodies
Gbm                                       D
Echoes from the past, nothing here will last
D
But the songs from your journey
                            A
You will bury with your heart.

[Chorus]
Em    C       G            D   Em        C
"Niin laulut Pohjolan kun sammuu, hiipuu hiljaa
G             D      Em     C       G              D      Em
Hallatar kun viljaa lyö, ja yö tuo kuninkaan tuon talven maan
     C         G         D           Bm
Niin routaan kaivetaan, lepoon omaan maan
    G       Bm     G
Ja laulut Pohjolan mukaan vain saan"
