Starálfur(Tabs)

	        
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-----|   
 
 
A             D            
blá nótt yfir himininn 
A             D 
blá nótt yfir mér 
A              D                     A 
horf-inn út um glugann minn með hendur 
              D        A 
faldar undir kinn 
       G             D   A    D 
hugsum daginn minn í dag og í gær 
 
A             D 
blá nóttfötin klæða mig i, 
A           D 
beint upp i rúm 
A            D  
breiði mjúku sængina  
A    D         A 
loka augunum 
       G             D     A 
ég fel hausinn undir væng 
 
Refrain: 
 
Bm Bm/A A   G         A7 D   D/C# 
starir  á   mig lítill álfur 
Bm Bm/A A  G              A7  D 
hleypur að mer en hreyfist ekki 
   A      G       A       
ur stað - sjalfur 
G                 D 
     starálfur 
 
Back to the intro over |-A-|-D-| and the guitar melody 
A     D 
Opna augun stírurnar úr 
A            D  
trygi mig og tel (hvort ég sé ekki) 
A               D 
kommin aftur og alltalltilæ  
A               D         A 
samt ventar eitthvað 
        G      D 
eins og alla veggina 
 
The instrumental interplay: 
 
| A | A | D | D/C# | Bm | Bm/A | G | D/F# | E |  
 
| A | D | D | A | A |  
 
Then the orchestra plays the refrain chords, + a little tail (?) 
Guitar plays (again): | A | G | A | G | D |
