Tale Of The Tongues

Am  G  Am  G  Am

[Verse 1]
         G           Dm         Am
Alduin's wings, they darken the sky
                 G         Dm               Am
His roar, fury's fire, his scales sharpened scythes
                 G                Dm              Am
Men ran and they cowered and they fought and they died
     C               Dm           Am           G
They burned and they bled as they issued their cries


[Verse 2]
    Am            G            Dm       Am
Oh, saviours come free us from Alduin's rage
              G             Dm         Am
Heroes on the field of this new war to wage
              G            Dm             Am
And if Alduin wins, man is gone from this world
C           Dm            Am            G
Lost in the shadow of the black wings unfurled


[Verse 3]
    F             G               F
But then came the Tongues on that terrible day
C            G            F           Am
Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray
    C             G        F        Am
And all heard the music of Alduin's doom
    C             Dm      G              D
The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um


[Verse 4]
         G           Dm         Am
Alduin's wings, they darken the sky
                 G         Dm               Am
His roar, fury's fire, his scales sharpened scythes
                 G                Dm              Am
Men ran and they cowered and they fought and they died
     C               Dm           Am           G
They burned and they bled as they issued their cries


[Verse 5]
    F             G               F
But then came the Tongues on that terrible day
C            G            F           Am
Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray
    C             G        F        Am
And all heard the music of Alduin's doom
    C             Dm      G              D
The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um


[Verse 6]
    F              G             Am
And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage
         F           G              Am       C
Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new Age
   F          G             Am        D
If Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done
         F       Am           G           Am
For his story is over and the dragons are gone
