Here is a somewhat simplified version of "Anthem" from the musical "Chess". Melody: Benny Andersson / Björn Ulvaeus Lyrics: Tim Rice C G Am D G G G7 F C F Dm G G7
C   G        C                   Am   F            C 
No man, no madness, though their sad power may prevail

     G        A            Dm  A     Dm          G7     C
can possess, conquer, my country's heart, they rise to fail

C   G   C              Am     F                   C
She is eternal, long before nations' lines were drawn

          C    D             G  D    G    C   D        G
When no flags flew, when no armies stood, my land was born

     Am                Em              F     Dm         C
And you ask me why I love her through wars, death and despair

 F           C        F      Dm    G
She is the constant, we who don't care

    Am   F                  Em         F        C
And you wonder will I leave her - but how?

 F   G         C  G    C   F    G          C
I cross over borders, but I'm still there now
F C G C C7 F C F G G7 C C7
 F          C          G             E
How can I leave her? Where would I start?

 F     G         C  G     C    F   G      Am
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart!

 F   G          C  G    C  F G         C  F  G  F  C
My land's only borders lie around my heart
