[G] [D] [G]
All this I tell here, I heard it [D]
once,
Of Tosche Nils in the fleet, a guarded light [G] and long.
It happened a long time ago, when no [C] road was found,
That Luffar [G] Nisse came one day [D] from the land [G] nowhere.
He came one day as Luffar to the cabin [D] where I was,
We asked about the place of residence, but then we got [G] the answer,
I've been flying all over the world, but I've lived [C] well.
I've slept in [G] many [D] sheds, but also in [G] house and castle.
For me who gladly asked, his life [Em] got [D] an answer,
He fled from a mountainous home in many [G] young days.
He saw how the people felt, blue for a slice of [C] food,
And against his [G] father's slavery, [D] where [G] all his hate grew.
He wanted to stay in our camp and [Bm] borrowed [D] a saw,
And also a axe heavy as the one by the [G] fire.
He chiseled and chiseled quite well and thought everything was [C] easy,
But he chiseled [G] and chiseled [D] and became as dull [G] and pale.
One cold morning before Christmas he became [D] sick and weak,
And this became, as everyone said, his last [G] working day.
It was so beautiful that evening with cold and [C] starry shine,
And Luffar [G] Nisse's star burned [D] in the sky [G] somewhere.
[Bm] [D] [G]
[E] I [A] sat in the hard bed of the widow and held a feverish [E] hand,
But as we slept he whispered midnight, now I see heaven's land.
And he greeted a frozen world, that now [D] Nisse is gone.
That night we were sad men [E] and no eyes [A] were dry,
But Luffar Nisse's image of life is [F#m] everywhere [E] today.
They kick those who lie down, are poor, [A] sick and weak.
And there took Torsen Nilsen prize and spat it [D] and went.
But through [A] the sound of the night's [E] light I saw his [A] sad gaze.
