Runes To My Memory (acoustic)

• Am

Intro: Am, F, Em 

Verse: 
Am                        G 
We rode the rivers of the Eastern trail 
 F          
Deep in the land of the Rus' 
Am             G       
Following the wind in our sails 
         F 
And the rhythm of the oars 
    Am             G 
No shelter in this hostile land 
  F   
Constantly on guard 
Am        G 
Ready to fight and defend 
      F 
Ours ships 'til the bitter end 

Bridge: 

F                Am 
We came under attack 
  Dm                 Em 
I received a deadly wound 
  F                     Am 
A spear was forced into my back 
 Dm            Em     
Still I fought on 


     Am        (C) G 
When I am dead 
        F           G 
Lay me in a mound 
  Am               (C) G 
Raise a stone for all to see 
 F                     G 
Runes carved to my memory 

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 


     Am        (C) G 
When I am dead 
        F           G 
Lay me in a mound 
 Am                 (C)  G 
Place my weapons by my side 
F                       G 
For the journey to Hall up high 

     Am         (C) G 
When I am dead 
        F           G 
Lay me in a mound 
  Am               (C) G 
Raise a stone for all to see 
 F                     G 
Runes carved to my memory
