[Em][D][Bm][D][Bm][Em]
[D][Em][D][Bm][Em]
[D][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]They bring him to the shore
[G]His [Bm]ship is ready made
He [D]will not see [C]them anymore
[Bm]Here he cannot stay

[Verse 2]
The [Em]brotherhood is gathered
Their [Bm]faces as hard as stone
[D]They have come to [C]take farewell
In si[Bm]lence they mourn

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][Em][D]
[Bm][Em][F#sus4][Em][D]
[Bm]Our king

[Verse 3]
[Em]has left our ranks
A [D]wise and [Bm]noble man
We [Em]owe him loyalty and thank[F#sus4]s
[Em]He r[D]uled with a steady h[Bm]and

[Verse 4]
He [Em]will be missed by all
His [D]heart [Bm]has now been stilled
To[Em]night he'll dine in
odin's [F#sus4]hall[Em]
[D]There he'll drink his [Bm]fill[Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]The ship glides gently on the waves
As [Bm]day turns into night
One [D]thousand [C]burning arrows
[Bm]Fill the starlit sky

[Verse 6]
Two [Em]ravens on [G]the longship
[Em]They [Bm]spread their pitch-black wings
wings
And [D]lift up to the [C]burning sky
[Bm]A send-off for for a king
[D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 7]
[Em]Into flames the longship burst [D]into flames
Black smoke is [C]rising high
To [Bm]the eternal night

[Verse 8]
[Em]Into flames the whole world
burst [D]into flames
Nothing [C]will be the same
Things [Bm]will forever change

[Interlude 2]
[Em][D][C]
[Bm][Em][D]
[C][D][C][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 9]
The [Em]flames are raging higher
They [Bm]gnaw at wood and flesh
[D]Soon the ship will [C]break apart
[Bm]And sink into the depth

[Verse 10]
This [Em]night we drink in silence
And [Bm]when the morning breaks
Our [D]king has left this [C]world to walk
[Bm]Through Valhalla's gates
