Verse 1:
Am
High upon the Southern Downs,
        E
Through field and over stile,
  Am
I walked to old Thundersbarrow Hill,
        E
Where I stopped to rest a while,
       F
Then I saw a mighty hammer,
       Am
With a dragon in full sail,
       F                             E
That’s when I heard a voice tell its tale.

Verse 2:
Am
I will tell you of my Father,
E
Fury was his name.
  Am
A God of War with a poet’s tongue,
   E
To him they were the same.
      F
He created all of Midgard,
      Am
Every field and hill and vale,
       F                              E
In the oceans a great serpent ate its tail.

Chorus:
     Am
Nine days to hang on Yggdrasil,
     Fmaj7
Nine nights upon the tree,
   G
To learn the wisdom of the Runes,
      Am
While Thought and Memory,
    Am
Fly high over Midgard,
   Fmaj7
My stories for to tell,
   G
To those who stop to rest a while,
   Am
On Thundersbarrow Hill.

Verse 3:
Am
I will tell you of the sacred well,
          E
Neath the roots of Yggdrasil,
   Am
My Father asked of Great Mimir,
   E
If he could drink his fill,
F
Blinded to all wisdom,
    Am
The gifts of prophecy,
   F
He gave his eye,
                    E
So he could clearly see.

Chorus:
     Am
Nine days to hang on Yggdrasil,
     Fmaj7
Nine nights upon the tree,
   G
To learn the wisdom of the Runes,
      Am
While Thought and Memory,
    Am
Fly high over Midgard,
   Fmaj7
My stories for to tell,
   G
To those who stop to rest a while,
   Am
On Thundersbarrow Hill.

Verse 4:
  Am
I felt the breath of Summer,
  E
I heard the Skylark’s song,
        Am
And the curve of old Thundersbarrow Hill,
     E
That I had slept upon.
     F
This land remembers stories,
   Am
Of all who came before,
    F
And it shall tell these tales,
        E
For evermore.

Chorus:
     Am
Nine days to hang on Yggdrasil,
     Fmaj7
Nine nights upon the tree,
   G
To learn the wisdom of the Runes,
      Am
While Thought and Memory,
    Am
Fly high over Midgard,
   Fmaj7
My stories for to tell,
   G
To those who stop to rest a while,
   Am
On Thundersbarrow Hill.
