Intro: Am, F, Em
Verse:
Am G
We rode the rivers of the Eastern trail
F
Deep in the land of the Rus'
Am G
Following the wind in our sails
F
And the rhythm of the oars
Am G
No shelter in this hostile land
F
Constantly on guard
Am G
Ready to fight and defend
F
Ours ships 'til the bitter end
Bridge:
F Am
We came under attack
Dm Em
I received a deadly wound
F Am
A spear was forced into my back
Dm Em
Still I fought on
Am (C) G
When I am dead
F G
Lay me in a mound
Am (C) G
Raise a stone for all to see
F G
Runes carved to my memory
Here I lie on the river bank
A long, long way from home
Life is pouring out of me
Soon I will be gone
I tilt my head to the side
And think of those back home
I see the river rushing by
Like blood runs from my wound
Here I lie on wet sand
I will not make it home
I clench my sword in my hand
Say farewell to those I love
Am (C) G
When I am dead
F G
Lay me in a mound
Am (C) G
Place my weapons by my side
F G
For the journey to Hall up high
Am (C) G
When I am dead
F G
Lay me in a mound
Am (C) G
Raise a stone for all to see
F G
Runes carved to my memory
