Intro: F#m C#m D F#m 
D A E F#m  


         F#m          
She was daughter of chief 
         C#m 
He was known as a thief 
         D                      F#m 
But they fell in love with each other 
 D                  A 
Secret trust under cover of nights 
          E         F#m 
They made vows to another 

On one foggy day, he was taken away 
To be killed among the prison walls 
When she ran off with him they were snatched suddenly 
And till morning they hung on the gallows 

Many years have gone away, even their mortal remains 
Reminds noone of the unjust slaughter 
They passed out of mind, just the chief of the clan 
Lighted a candle for his daughter 

But everyone has to pay for all the sins that they made 
And a lover's heart never forgets 
A ghost from the grave did not accept the fate 
'Cause the soul full of anger is immortal 

  D 
Is heard a painful call from grave 
  E 
Far far away, far far away 
  D                                E 
When the north wind cries his name again 
  C# 
It's forever 

  F#m               A            E               F#m 
He rose up with the twilight to take revenge for all the sins 
  F#m               A        E          F#m 
He came from the shadow to mollify his suffering 
  F#m          A            E         F#m        
Moved by the rage, didn't forget the sorrow 
     D                        E              F#m 
The endless pain created the ghost from the barrow 

When the sky lost the sun 
An innocent soul will come 
For the guilty ones says oracle 
Someone lost from the town 
Just his kilt has been found 
A cold corpse lies in the harbour 

Bound with the dark 
Starts his seven deadly nights 
There are less and less of the traitors 
And the pain still remains 
'Cause the vengence can't replace 
His relief and the bate can't save her
