Random Bard: This is a local favorite and one
of the first songs I ever learned - Ragnar the Red
D A
Oh... There once was a hero named Ragnar the Red,
Bm F#
Who came riding to Whiterun from ole Rorikstead!
G D
And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade,
A E
As he told of bold battles and gold he had made!
F C
But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red,
Am E
When he met the shield-maiden Matilda who said...
F C
"Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead!
Am E
Now I think it's high time that you lie down and bleed!"
D A
And so then came the clashing and slashing of steel,
Bm F#
As the brave lass Matilda charged in full of zeal!
G Bm
And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no more...
G A D
When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor!
