Key: E
Introduction:
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 bragger named Ragnar was boastful no more
G D A D
When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor!
