[Intro] Dm Eb C Dm Bb C x4 [Verse 1]
     Am
As a young boy chasing dragons

          C               B
With your wooden sword so mighty

       Bb                                 F      G          Am

Times change very quickly, and you had to grow up early

  Bb                             F      G       Am
A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet
[Chorus 1]

In a corner forgotten by no one

One man  and his ho  -  nour
[Verse 2] Dm Eb C Dm Bb C x2
    Am                            C           B
The smell of resined leather, the steely iron mask

       Bb                                F       C        Am
As you cut and thrust and parried at the fencing master's call

   Am                             C          B
He taught you all he ever knew to fear no mortal man

    Bb                                     F          G    Am
And now you'll wreak your vengeance in the screams of evil men
