[A] _ _ _ [D] The birds fly high over the water and high [Bm] above my wooden boat. _
_ _ [Dm] On the fjord's new-made [A] dance floor [Dm] it lies naked and fine.
[A] _ _ _ [C] [D] Here I row alone with [A] my back to [D] the places where I'm going.
_ [Em] I only see [B] the strip in the water [Dm] _ where I was.
_ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] I row far from the shore [Bm] and row alone. _
_ _ And [A] I still remember the day when I found [G] that I row [Dm] alone.
[A] _
_ _ [C] Now [D] I find myself here [A] among the fields of Holm _ [D] with the sound of the wind.
[G]
I don't have a word [D] _ for the boat from the dock.
Now [A] it's me who's rowing [G] here in my wooden [Dm] boat. _ _
[A] _ _ [D] I've had my whole life [G]
with [D] me.
So I can't just [A] put my ears in and [D] let myself drift along the shore. _
_ _ [G] Because I lack meaning [A] and direction sometimes _ I'm alone [D] on board.
And [G] I know [D] I have to [A] go on.
_ _ _ _ So [G] I row.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ So [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] if the boat takes in water I'll have to row along. _
I row alone. _ _ _ _
Because if there's water and open [A] sea wherever I look [G] I row [B] alone.
_ _ [A] _ [G] And my hands are so [A] heavy on the deck.
[D]
And I don't know where it is.
_ I give my word I'll row, row [A]
far away.
A place _ [G] here in my wooden boat [A] _ _ I've [D] had my whole life [G] with me.
So I can't just [A] put my ears in and [D] let myself drift far away.
_ _ _ [G]
Because I lack meaning [A] and direction sometimes _ I'm alone [Bm] on board.
And [G] I know, and I want, [A] and I can, _ _ and [D] I row. _ _
