Warrior And Man

Intro: Em  G  D  Am  Am

             G
Still I hear the old song,
                  D                             Am     Em
it is sung by the birds and the leaves in the trees.
                  G
It is sung by the wind,
                   D                          Am       Am
by the thunder and rain, by the waves in the seas.
      Em          C           D             Em
It is sung by the merfolk, by gnomes and by dwarves,
       Em         C             D       Em
in the rivers and mountains so deep;
      A           C            D            Em
it is sung by the fairies that dance in the woods,
      C              D           Em
it is sung where the unicorns sleep.

Em                       G
When the world was still young
                     D                             Am   Em
and the weak race of man still had hearts true and proud,
Em                    G
Man did fight side by side
                     D                      Am     Am
with the folk of the woods as an invincible crowd.
     Em           C        D                Em
As a frightening army they rode through the mist,
            C         D               Em
with their weapon and shield by their side;
        A         C            D             Em
and the warrior´s song all the swordsmen did sing
       C          D           Em
as the black army rode in the night.

Em                      G
But the race of man´s weak
                  D                        Am   Em
and it started to fight only for money and fame;
Em                    G
While the folk of the woods
                       D                              Am    Am
fought for justice and truth, not for man´s greed and shame.
         Em                 C       D            Em
Thus the elves turned their back on man´s insanity
        C              D           Em
and the old friendship came to an end;
         A        C            D        Em
and the warrior´s song was forgotten by man,
       C        D              Em
who to gold and injustice did bend.

Em                      G
But I still hear the song
                     D                           Am     Em
which is sung by the birds and the leaves in the trees,
                      G
which is sung by the merfolk,
                  D                           Em
by gnomes and by fairies in the mountains and seas.
        Em        C                D            Em
And as long as my heart beats this song will be there,
      Em            C              D     Em
for I know that the warriors still ride.
         A             C           D            Em
Yes, the race of man´s weak, but a few still remember
    C            D          Em
the old words of honour and pride.
