Hymn for nations (Beethoven`s 9th)

D Em D A7 D A D A7 D A

1. Brother shout your country`s anthem, sing your land`s undying fame,

D Em D7 G D A7 D A7 D A D

light the wondrous tale of nations with your people`s golden name.

A D A D A7 D Bm E A

Tell your fathers` noble story, raise on high your country`s sign.

D Em D G D-Em D A7 D A7 D

Join then in the final glory, brother lift your flag with mine.

D Em D A7 D-A D A7 D A

2. Hail the sun of peace now rising, hold the war clouds ever furled.

D Em D7 G D-A7 D A7 D A D

Blend your banners, oh, my brother, in the rainbow of the world.

A D A D A7 D Bm E A

Red as blood and blue as heaven, wise as age and proud as youth,

D Em - D G D- Em D A7 D A7 D

melt your colours, wonder woven, in the great white light of truth.

D Em D A7-D A D A7 D A

3. Build the road of peace before us, build it wide and deep and long.

D Em D7-G D- A7 D A7 D A D

Speed the slow, remind the eager, help the weak and guide the strong.

A D A D A7 D Bm E A

None shall push aside another, none shall let another fall,

D Em D G D - Em D A7 D A7 D

word beside me, oh, my brother, all for one and one for all.

(Beethoven)
