This is an attempt at Hands of Gold (Extended Cover). Original by Ed Sheeran, covered by Peter Hollens on
YouTube. Link [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdmh9eRUz8g]
It's a chord progression of the original song. The interludes are inspired by the melodies from
the intro of GoT and Rains of Castamere (Hollens version). Feel welcome to comment your improvements!
[Verse]
Am
He rode through the streets of the city
Em
Down from his hill on high
Am
O'er the wynds and the steps and the cobble
Em
He rode to a woman's sigh
Am
For she was his secret treasure
Em
She was his shame and his bliss
Am
And a chain and a keep are nothing
Em
Compared to a woman's kiss
[Refrain]
F G
For hands of gold are always cold
F G F
But a woman's hands are warm
F G
For hands of gold are always cold
F G Am
But a woman's hands are warm
[Interlude]
| Am Em Am Em | Dm Em |
[Verse]
F
And there he stood with sword in hand
Em
The last of darry's tem
F
And red the grass beneath his feet
Em
And red his banner bright
F
And red the glow of setting sun
G Em
That bathed him in its light
F
"Come on, come on" the great lord called
Em
"My sword is hungry still"
[Refrain]
F G
And with a cry of savage rage
F G F
They swarmed across the rill
F G
And with a cry of savage rage
F G Am
They swarmed across the rill
[Interlude]
Am
(Hollens makes a transition with an acapella version of GoT intro, strum on Am, then move on to verse)
