Verse 1
Bartnob,
King Ethelred's Earl
G
Gsus2
Asus4
Came riding to town in a fury
D
Come all you Saxons, companions in arms,
G
D
Asus4
I will lead you to war and to glory.

G
D
Vikings have landed at Blackwater Bay,
Gsus2
It's revenge and our
G
Asus4
gold they be wanting,
D
But we'll send them our spear points
and arrows and blades,
Gsus2
D
And we'll end this before
Asus4
D
G
D

morrow's dawning.
D
I'm Elphir, the son of a Mercian lord,
G
Gsus2
Asus4
D
And I fight for my family and field.
I vowed to this man I would do what I can,
G
So I took up my broadsword
D
Asus4
D
and shield.
Em
D
Brut 'noth has chosen
both Makas and me,
G
Asus4
To fold off the Danes on the bridgeway,
D
And hold them we did till his arrogance bid him to
Gsus2
D
Asus4
D
G
Asus4
trade in the hunt for the melee.
both sides were lost
G
as we yet held our ground
Asus4
from the foe.
D
But fast flew a spear from
the ranks of the banes
G
Asus4
and with desperate luck they did throw
D
Em
D
In to the body of Ferdinand they'd cut
G
And he's sent to the ground,
Asus4
D
dead and bleeding
Seeing this, Oda's son,
Godric, turned round
Gsus2
Asus4
And on his lord's steed
D
G
Asus4
he went fleeing
D
Now before me were Vikings advancing
Gsus2
Asus4
were flying
D
One choice brings me to
my family tonight,
G
Asus4
and the other means glory in dying.
D
they'd forsake us like this,
Gsus2
G
Asus4
leaving us out here alone?
D
But to keep fighting now
would be meaningless death,
G
Asus4
and a worse sin than I've ever
D
G
Gsus2
G
Asus4
known.
D
Now we must fall with our master,
they cried,
G
And we'll live on in song
Gsus2
Asus4
and in story.
D
But I'll be damned if I'll die for a stake
Gsus2
G
Gsus2
Asus4
In a misguided vision of glory.
Em
G
I kept my word to Earl
Gsus2
G
And I fought neath his
Asus4
banner and rod.
D
Others may shun me and sully my name,
G
Asus4
But my wife and my chil
D
G
Asus4
dren thank God.
D
I'm Elphir, the son of a Mercian lord,
G
Asus4
And I'll fight for my family and field,
D
But different the causes
for which men will die,
Gsus2
G
Asus4
D
and the causes for which they will yield.
