Timbers and Wind

[Intro] Am  G  F  Am

[Parte 1]

          Am
Now there once was a time when the northerners sang
          G
Of a king they had crowned: more a boy than a man
       F                                                  Am
More a pup than a wolf, with the cold of the realm in his eyes
      Am
He’d broken a vow to the lords of the Twins
      G
Wed a stranger, a beauty, but a promise there’d been
       F                                      Am
So the Lord Frey demanded a bridegroom as compromise

[Refrão]

        F       C
And the timbers groaned
      G           Am
River wind softly moaned
         F                         G
“Oh, the King in the North doesn't know
                     Am
How a red wedding goes

( Am )

[Segunda Parte]

          Am
Well, the feasting was plenty and the singing in tune
        G
And the Stark wolves, they howled ‘neath their northern moon
   F                                                      Am
So loud were their cries that the closing of doors was drowned out
      Am
Lady Catelyn alone had the river’s sharp ear
        G
Heard dancing reels turn to the Rains of Castamere
         F                                 Am
In her skin and bones growled a creature of doubt

[Refrão]

         F      C
And the timbers groaned
      G           Am
River wind softly moaned
         F                             G
“Oh, the King in the North soon will know
                   Am
How a red wedding goes

( Am )

[Terceira Parte]

            Am
There were arrows and daggers, and the touch of them burned
      G
From players to slayers in an instant were turned
         F
And the foreigner Queen was the first to fall under the knife
      Am
With two arrows in him, the King crawled to her side
          G
While his mother, she pleaded for the Lord to subside
          F                                                 Am
But he’d taken their word, and to break it meant no right to life

[Refrão]

         F       C
And the timbers groaned
      G           Am
River wind softly moaned
         F                            G
“Oh, the King in the North, now he knows
                    Am
How a red wedding goes

( Am )

[Quarta Parte]

     Am
Lord Bolton approached; with a thrust to Robb’s heart
   G
He gave him the Lannister Lions’ regards
        F                                                       Am
And the king’s mother wept, for his last word had called her to him
          Am
There was nothing she felt cutting Lady Frey’s throat
         G
And she felt nothing more when they slashed her own

    F                                                      Am
The North will remember, she thought, and they’ll have all your skins

[Refrão]

         F       C
And the timbers groaned
        G          Am
Now the wolves lie below
        F                          G
Oh, the King in the North, if he’d known
                  Am
How a red wedding goes
        F       C
And the timbers groan
        G                 Am
But the North waits; they know
      F                         G
That one day the blood they are owed
                       Am
Will run ‘neath their soles
                  Am
Run 'neath their soles
                  Am
Run 'neath their soles
