INTRO:
Am, F, Em
VERSE:
AmWe rode the rivers of the GEastern trail
DFeep in the land of the Rus'
AmFollowing the wGind in our sails
And the rFhythm of the oars
No sAmhelter in this Ghostile land
CoFnstantly on guard
AmReady to fGight and defend
Ours sFhips 'til the bitter end
BRIDGE:
FWe came under attAmack
I Dmreceived a deadly wEmound
A Fspear was forced into Ammy back
SDmtill I fought Emon
             Am(C) G  
When I am dead
Lay me iFn a moundG  
                 Am(C) G  
Raise a stone for all to see
RFunes carved to my memoGry
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
CHORUS
             Am(C) G  
When I am dead
Lay me iFn a moundG  
                  Am(C)  G  
Place my weapons by my side
FFor the journey to Hall Gup high
              Am(C) G  
When I am dead
Lay me iFn a moundG  
                 Am(C) G  
Raise a stone for all to see
RFunes carved to my memoGry

Ready to fight and defend

Ours ships 'til the bitter end

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
