Intro:
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G C majorC 2x

Verse:
C majorC        G+G         A minorAm       FF
Before I got to fighting (or when fighting got to me)
 C majorC       A minorAm       FF       G+G
I looked to find examples on the field of chivalry
     C majorC        G+G        A minorAm       FF
And I saw mighty arms much stronger than my arms could ever be
   C majorC          G+G         C majorC
So I thought perhaps the field was not for me

      C majorC           G+G         A minorAm      FF
But still I stayed and watched the fighting 'til one figure stood apart
  C majorC      A minorAm       FF         G+G
In armour newly fashioned and a helm more pot than art
     C majorC          G+G      A minorAm        FF
But each blow was thrown with honour and a lightness of the heart
   C majorC          FF  G+G    C majorC    *
So I took that step which soon became a start

        FF        C majorC      FF       C majorC
'Cause she was not the biggest fighter nor one to raise a fuss
   FF       C majorC         G+G
But I remember being proud that she was one of us
       C majorC      G+G        A minorAm         FF
And we might never stand together in the shield-wall side by side
    C majorC       G+G         C majorC
But because of her I lift my sword with pride

Interlude:
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G C majorC 2x


    C majorC      G+G        A minorAm       FF
She was ladylike and lively, not the type you would expect
    C majorC         A minorAm     FF      G+G
With a braver heart than many and a slot-shot to respect
 C majorC        G+G        A minorAm         FF
I guess she'd once decided this was where she'd like to be
   C majorC          G+G       C majorC
And I thought if she could do it, why not me

        FF        C majorC      FF       C majorC
'Cause she was not the biggest fighter nor one to raise a fuss
   FF       C majorC         G+G
But I remember being proud that she was one of us
       C majorC      G+G        A minorAm         FF
And we might never stand together in the shield-wall side by side
    C majorC       G+G         C majorC
But because of her I lift my sword with pride

Interlude:
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G C majorC 2x 2nd time the first G+G is early:


slower:
    C majorC      G+G        A minorAm       FF
So now as I gather armour, bits and pieces here and there
 C majorC      A minorAm        FF         G+G
I think about examples: how you act, and what you dare
      C majorC        G+G        A minorAm       FF
'Cause you never know who's watching or how far that story goes
  C majorC         G+G       C majorC
And where'er that Lady is I hope she knows


original tempo:
        FF        C majorC      FF       C majorC
'Cause she was not the biggest fighter nor one to raise a fuss
   FF       C majorC         G+G
But I remember being proud that she was one of us
       C majorC      G+G        A minorAm         FF
And we might never stand together in the shield-wall side by side
    C majorC       G+G         C majorC
But because of her I lift my sword with pride
    C majorC      G+G        A minorAm         FF
We may never stand together in the shield-wall side by side
    C majorC       G+G         C majorC
But because of her I lift my sword with pride!
