[B] Mendeleino, from the land [E] of the dead,
I'm going to the land of the dead.
Mendeleino, from the land of the dead,
I'm going to the land of the dead.
I'm going to the land of the dead.
[G] [E]
[Em] Lule, lule, [B] my tiny child,
Too soon you'll know the world so wild.
Yes, all [C] too soon you will be gone,
And I'll bite [N]
here alone.
The rushing of arrows you shall run,
And the light of the [Em] North Star will be your guide.
But yet awhile [N] I'll have you stay,
Lule, my tiny child.
For you shall run in meadow green,
And sport with altars all in [G] the stream.
And you [A] shall [F#] chase the dappled deer,
And swim with salmon in the water's clear.
To put the small [N] birds from the sky
On the tail of the south wind,
You shall fly and take the high hills for your home.
Blood of my blood, bone of my bone,
The moon must sleep [C#] beyond the tree,
So [B] its sweet mane [Bm] of gobbling.
[B] The [C#m] sun must rise before [D#] the cross
To dry [C#m] your tears [G] and share your loss.
The darker [D#] star [F#] above the starless night
[C] Must bow to the [Em] power [Bm] of the eastern [N] light
That heals the earth and makes us [B] whole.
[A] Heart [B] of my [D#] heart, [F#] soul of my soul.
And when [E] at last your course is wrong,
Joy of my joy, [N] my little soul.
[G] Beneath the [D#]
sky you'll stand [B] alone,
Flesh of my [C#m] flesh, bone of my bone.
Yes, you [Em] shall [C#] stand on [Bm] the four [Em] black stones
[E] To cross on [Am] the [Em] waters [G] of the [A]
western [Bm] land.
[C] But now [G#m] I [D#] have you at [B] my breast,
[E] Blue [D#] lay my sweet [B] [A] one gently.
