  			Am                F 
First I know, unknown to rulers, 
G             E 
Or any human mind; 
Am                     F 
Help it is named, for help it can give 
Dm              E 
In hours of despair.... 

Am                      F 
I know a third, in the thick of battle, 
G              E 
If my need be great, 
        Am                 F 
It will blunt the edges of swords and axes, 
     Dm                    E 
Their weapons will make no wounds. 

Am Am G Am (x 2) 

  Am                 F 
I know a ninth, when need I have 
   G                      E 
To shelter my ship on the flood, 
    Am                 F 
The wind it calms, the waves it smoothes 
    Dm               E 
And puts the sea to sleep. 


Am Am G Am (x 2) 

Am                           G           F 
The Wise One has spoken the words in the hall, 
Am             F  E  Am 
Joy to him who understood. 

Am Am Am Am-G 

Am            G     F 
I grew and I throve well; 
Am                  F     E  Am 
Word from word gave words to me, 
Am            G     F 
I grew and I throve well 
Am                  F     E  Am 
Deed from deed gave deeds to me. 

Am               F 
When I brethern lead to battle 
  G                  E 
I chant it behind my shield, 
Am                 F    
Unwounded they go, Unwounded they return, 
Dm                       E 
Unscathed wherever they are. 


Am Am G Am (x 2) 

  Am            F 
I know another, only few know, 
    G            E 
The names of the fallen ones. 
   Am                F 
About the high ones, elves and gods, 
Dm              E 
I can name them all. 

Am Am G Am (x 2)

Joy to him who understood.

Am            G     F 
I grew and I throve well; 
Am                  F     E  Am 
Word from word gave words to me, 
Am            G     F 
I grew and I throve well 
Am                  F     E  Am 
Deed from deed gave deeds to me.

The Wise One has spoken the words in the hall,
