If you want to play along with this track, tune your guitar
to the cd.
(I will write the chords as normal chords, but they're
actually a half-note (cirka) up)
Intro:
|e--0----------0----0----2---|
|B--0----------0----0----3---|
|G--4----------2----4----2---|
|D--2----------0----2----0---|
|A--4----------2----4--------|
|E--0----------0----0--------|
Now the song starts and the orchestra kicks in. The chords
changes between A and D. The guitar melody is based on
these notes:
|e------17-|
|B----15---| I haven't found a rythm pattern so just do as you like.
|G--14-----|

Back to the intro over |-A-|-D-| and the guitar melody
A D
Opna augun stírurnar úr

trygi mig og tel (hvort ég sé ekki)

eins og alla veggina
The instrumental interplay:
| A | A | D | D/C# | Bm | Bm/A | G | D/F# | E |

Then the orchestra plays the refrain chords, + a little tail (?)
Guitar plays (again): | A | G | A | G | D |
