Misc Originals – Darren Fleming - Mournfall Has Fallen (Guitar)

    Am               G      Em        C    F    G    Am
Twas in the fall one bitter year beneath a sullen sky,

    Am               G        Em      C        F     G  Am
The battle lines were drawn that day to Mournfall's gate rode I;

   C                 G       Em       C         F    G     Am
The drums did sound, the fife did play, rang out the trumpets clear.

          Am                    G       Em              C         F   G  Am   Am G Em C F G Am
But soon our blood would soak the earth. For Nightfrost's host drew near.

    Am                  G      Em        C            F    G  Am
Right proudly high o'er Mournfall Town they hung out the flag of war,

    Am                   G     Em          C         F  G  Am
Twas better to die oh where freedom lies than bow to tyranny.

   C                   G     Em          C         F     G   Am
And to the walls ran foe and friend, with sword and shield and spear.

          Am                       G            Em         C              F   G     Am     Am G Em C G Am
While Zsisera's kin, with their pale white skin, marched ever onward without fear.

    Am                            G      Em        C            G       Am
As, the night fell black, did the White attack, her forces filled with zeal,

    Am                          G        Em       C               G        Am
'Mid the leaden rain, great tongues of flame did shine o'er the lines of steel;

   C                          G       Em         C            G      Am
By each shinning blade a prayer was said that to Mournfall let us all be true,

          Am                     G        Em             C          G       Am
And when morning broke still the war flag shook out it's folds in the Foggy Dew.

    Am                        G       Em    C         F  G      Am
But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear,

    Am                 G         Em   C             F    G  Am
For those who died that Hollow's Eve in the waning time of the year.

   C                          G      Em       C            F    G    Am
While the world did gaze with deep amaze at those fearless warriors  few,

          Am            G            Em       C                 F  G    Am
Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the Foggy Dew,

    Am                   G        Em        C          F    G   Am
Back through the glen I rode again, and my heart with grief was sore,

    Am                  G       Em      C            F   G   Am
For I parted then with valiant friends who I never shall see more;

   C                   G       Em      C             F  G     Am
But to and from in my dreams I go, and I'd kneel and pray for you,

    Am              G         Em           C           F  G  Am
For slavery fled, O glorious dead when you fell in the Foggy Dew.
