Capo 1
INTRO A minorAm G+G FF A minorAm
VERSE
A minorAm
Now there once was a time when the northerners sang
G+G
of a king they had crowned: more a boy than a man,
FF A minorAm
More a pup than a wolf, with the cold of the realm in his eyes
A minorAm
He?d broken a vow to the lords of the Twins:
G+G
Wed a stranger, a beauty, but a promise there?d been
FF A minorAm
So the Lord Frey demanded a bridegroom as compromise
CHORUS
FF C majorC
And the timbers groaned
G+G A minorAm
River wind softly moaned,
FF G+G
?Oh, the King in the North doesn't know
A minorAm
How a red wedding goes.?
A minorAm
VERSE
A minorAm
Well, the feasting was plenty and the singing in tune
G+G
And the Stark wolves, they howled ?neath their northern moon
FF A minorAm
So loud were their cries that the closing of doors was drowned out
A minorAm
Lady Catelyn alone had the river?s sharp ear
G+G
Heard dancing reels turn to the Rains of Castamere
FF A minorAm
In her skin and bones growled a creature of doubt
CHORUS
FF C majorC
And the timbers groaned
G+G A minorAm
River wind softly moaned,
FF G+G
?Oh, the King in the North soon will know
A minorAm
How a red wedding goes.?
A minorAm
VERSE
A minorAm
There were arrows and daggers, and the touch of them burned;
G+G
From players to slayers in an instant were turned
FF
And the foreigner Queen was the first to fall under the knife
A minorAm
With two arrows in him, the King crawled to her side
G+G
While his mother, she pleaded for the Lord to subside
FF A minorAm
But he?d taken their word, and to break it meant no right to life
CHORUS
FF C majorC
And the timbers groaned
G+G A minorAm
River wind softly moaned,
FF G+G
?Oh, the King in the North, now he knows
A minorAm
How a red wedding goes.?
A minorAm
VERSE
A minorAm
Lord Bolton approached; with a thrust to Robb?s heart
G+G
He gave him the Lannister Lions? regards
FF A minorAm
And the king?s mother wept, for his last word had called her to him
A minorAm
There was nothing she felt cutting Lady Frey?s throat
G+G
And she felt nothing more when they slashed her own
FF A minorAm
The North will remember, she thought, and they?ll have all your skins
CHORUS
FF C majorC
And the timbers groaned
G+G A minorAm
Now the wolves lie below
FF G+G
Oh, the King in the North, if he?d known
A minorAm
How a red wedding goes
FF C majorC
And the timbers groan
G+G A minorAm
But the North waits; they know
FF G+G
That one day the blood they are owed
A minorAm
Will run ?neath their soles
A minorAm
Run 'neath their soles
A minorAm
Run 'neath their soles.
