Finlandia Hymn Jean Sibelius
If you don't like the chords..google some chords for Be Still, My soul, there's
plenty to go around. The song probably shouldn't be played like this, but it's
easy, and good for singing along with. I included english lyrics in the bottom if
anyone's interested (no, not the "be still, my soul" ones, but translated ones).
The chords aren't exactly in their correct places, because this editor is
terrible...but try to figure it out anyway.

In english:
Finland, behold, your day has now come dawning;
Banished is night, its menace gone with light,
Larks' song again in morning-brightness ringing,
Filling the air to heaven's great height,
And morning's glow, night's darkness overcoming;
Your day is come, o my native land.
O Finland, rise, stand proud, the future facing,
Your valiant deeds recalling, once again;
O Finland rise, in the world's sight erasing
From your fair brows vile slavery's stain.
You were not broken by oppressors ruling;
Your morning's come, o my native land.
