Here is a somewhat simplified version of "Anthem" from the musical "Chess".
Melody: Benny Andersson / Björn Ulvaeus
Lyrics: Tim Rice
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
My land's only borders lie around my heart.
