INTRO   Am   G   F  Am  
VERSE
Now there Amonce was a time when the northerners sang
of a king Gthey had crowned: more a boy than a man,
More a Fpup than a wolf, with the cold of the realm in his Ameyes
He’d bAmroken a vow to the lords of the Twins:
Wed a Gstranger, a beauty, but a promise there’d been
So the FLord Frey demanded a bridegroom as compAmromise
CHORUS
And the Ftimbers Cgroaned
River Gwind softly Ammoaned,
“Oh, the FKing in the North doesn't Gknow
How a red wedding goeAms.”
Am
VERSE
Well, the Amfeasting was plenty and the singing in tune
And the GStark wolves, they howled ‘neath their northern moon
So Floud were their cries that the closing of doors was droAmwned out
Lady CAmatelyn alone had the river’s sharp ear
Heard daGncing reels turn to the Rains of Castamere
In her skFin and bones growled a creature of Amdoubt
CHORUS
And the tFimbers Cgroaned
River Gwind softly Ammoaned,
“Oh, the FKing in the North soon will knGow
How a red wedding gAmoes.”
Am
VERSE
There were aAmrrows and daggers, and the touch of them burned;
From pGlayers to slayers in an instant were turned
And the fForeigner Queen was the first to fall under the knife
With tAmwo arrows in him, the King crawled to her side
While his Gmother, she pleaded for the Lord to subside
But he’d tFaken their word, and to break it meant no right to Amlife
CHORUS
And the tFimbers gCroaned
River Gwind softly Ammoaned,
“Oh, the FKing in the North, now he knoGws
How a red wedding goAmes.”
Am
VERSE
Lord AmBolton approached; with a thrust to Robb’s heart
He Ggave him the Lannister Lions’ regards
And the Fking’s mother wept, for his last word had called her to Amhim
There was Amnothing she felt cutting Lady Frey’s throat
And she fGelt nothing more when they slashed her own
The FNorth will remember, she thought, and they’ll have all Amyour skins
CHORUS
And the tFimbers gCroaned
Now the Gwolves lie Ambelow
Oh, the FKing in the North, if he’d Gknown
How a red wedding Amgoes
And the Ftimbers Cgroan
But the GNorth waits; they Amknow
That oFne day the blood they are Gowed
Will run ‘neath their sAmoles
Run 'neath their sAmoles
Run 'neath their sAmoles.

Capo 1

Am G F Am

INTRO

VERSE

Now there once was a time when the northerners sang

of a king they had crowned: more a boy than a man,

F Am

More a pup than a wolf, with the cold of the realm in his eyes

He’d broken a vow to the lords of the Twins:

Wed a stranger, a beauty, but a promise there’d been

F Am

So the Lord Frey demanded a bridegroom as compromise

CHORUS

F C

And the timbers groaned

G Am

River wind softly moaned,

F G

“Oh, the King in the North doesn't know

How a red wedding goes.”

VERSE

Well, the feasting was plenty and the singing in tune

And the Stark wolves, they howled ‘neath their northern moon

F Am

So loud were their cries that the closing of doors was drowned out

Lady Catelyn alone had the river’s sharp ear

Heard dancing reels turn to the Rains of Castamere

F Am

In her skin and bones growled a creature of doubt

CHORUS

F C

And the timbers groaned

G Am

River wind softly moaned,

F G

“Oh, the King in the North soon will know

How a red wedding goes.”

VERSE

There were arrows and daggers, and the touch of them burned;

From players to slayers in an instant were turned

And the foreigner Queen was the first to fall under the knife

With two arrows in him, the King crawled to her side

While his mother, she pleaded for the Lord to subside

F Am

But he’d taken their word, and to break it meant no right to life

CHORUS

F C

And the timbers groaned

G Am

River wind softly moaned,

F G

“Oh, the King in the North, now he knows

How a red wedding goes.”

VERSE

Lord Bolton approached; with a thrust to Robb’s heart

He gave him the Lannister Lions’ regards

F Am

And the king’s mother wept, for his last word had called her to him

There was nothing she felt cutting Lady Frey’s throat

And she felt nothing more when they slashed her own

F Am

The North will remember, she thought, and they’ll have all your skins

CHORUS

F C

And the timbers groaned

G Am

Now the wolves lie below

F G

Oh, the King in the North, if he’d known

How a red wedding goes

F C

And the timbers groan

G Am

But the North waits; they know

F G

That one day the blood they are owed

Will run ‘neath their soles

Run 'neath their soles

Run 'neath their soles.
