A Song Of Peace

Jean Sibelius


Tom: Em

G          C        Em     D      G
This is my song for people of all nations,
G         C         Em     D       G 
A song of peace for lands afar and mine.
G          Em        G       Bm       Am 
This is my home, the country where my heart is.
Am          Em        G          Am   B 
Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine.
B         Em        G     Bm        Am 
But other hearts in other lands are beating
Am             G         C        D       G
With hopes and dreams as pure and high as mine.


G            C         Em    D        G 
My country's skies are bluer than the ocean.
G            C        Em     D        G 
And sunlight beams on clover leaf and pine.
G         Em         G        Bm      Am 
But other lands have sunlight too and clover,
Am            Em   G        Am      B 
And skies are everywhere as blue as mine.
B          Em       G      Bm    Am 
This is my song for you of every nation,
Am        G         C          D       G
A song of peace for your lands and for mine.
