[Intro] Em D Bm Em G D Bm Em D Bm Em G D Bm [Verse 1]
     Em
They bring him to the shore

    Bm
His ship is ready made

   D                 C
He will not see them anymore

Bm
Here he cannot stay

    Em
The brotherhood is gathered

      Bm
Their faces as hard as stone

D                 C
They have come to take farewell

   Bm
In silence they mourn
Em D Bm Em G D Bm [Verse 2]
    Em
Our king has left our ranks

  D              Bm
A wise and noble man

   Em           G
We owe him loyalty and thanks

   D                   Bm
He ruled with a steady hand

    Em
He will be missed by all

    D                  Bm
His heart has now been stilled

  Em                  G
Tonight he'll dine in odin's hall

D                     Bm
There he'll drink his fill
[Chorus]
    Em
The ship glides gently on the waves

   Bm
As day turns into night

    D                C
One thousand burning arrows

Bm
Fill the starlit sky

    Em
Two ravens on the longship

     Bm
They spread their pitch-black wings

    D              C
And lift up to the burning sky

  Bm
A send-off for a king
[Interlude]
Em                             D
Into flames the longship burst into flames

               C
Black smoke is rising high

   Bm
To the eternal night

Em                                D
Into flames the whole world burst into flames

             C
Nothing will be the same

       Bm
Things will forever change
[Solo] Em G D C Bm Em G D C Bm [Verse 3]
    Em
The flames are raging higher

     Bm
They gnaw at wood and flesh

D                  C
Soon the ship will break apart

    Bm
And sink into the depth

     Em
This night we drink in silence

    Bm
And when the morning breaks

    D                  C
Our king has left this world to walk

Bm
Through Valhalla's gates
[Outro] Bm D Em G Bm D Em G Bm D Em G Bm D Em G
