    This is a correction on the original tab which I found at
nevada.edu. I found a few slight errors and here is the corrected
version. Mail me at [email protected] if you have any comments.


                          e:----0------------|
    The first [A augmentedA] in the song is a regular A: B:----2------------|
                          G:----2------------|
                          D:----2------------|
                          A:----0------------|
                          E:-----------------|

    And the [E MajorE] is a regular E: e:----0------------|
                  B:----0------------|
                  G:----1------------|
                  D:----2------------|
                  A:----2------------|
                  E:----0------------|

    But the crescendo in the middle, ("on we sweep, with threshing
oar....) is actually A5A5 - B5B5 - C5:

      A5A5         B5B5       C5C5
    e:-------------------------------------------------|
    B:-------------------------------------------------|
    G:-------------------------------------------------|
    D:---7------------------9--------------10----------|
    A:---7------------------9--------------10----------|
    E:---5------------------7--------------8-----------|

    If you listen carefully, A5A5 is played 16 times quickly, B5B5 is
also played 16 times quickly, C5C5 is played 16 times, plus an extra 9.
Don't forget to stop short on the 9th time!

    F# minorF#m is never played in the song, the beginning part is given as
N.C. Let me just do the song:

    [Riff 1]

    e:---------------------------------------------------------|
    B:---------------------------------------------------------|
    G:---------------------------------------------------------|
    D:---------4-------------4-------------4------------4------|
    A:---------------------------------------------------------|
    E:--2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2---2--2-2-2-2---2-2--|

    Play [Riff 1] 4 times while someone goes "Ahhhhhhh......"

   A augmentedA   E MajorE
    We come from the land of the ice ....

      E MajorE   A augmentedA
where the hot ....

    Play [Riff 1] 3 times with the lyrics:

    The hammer of the gods .. will ....

                        A augmentedA
    to fight the horde, ....

    E MajorE           E MajorE A augmentedA
    Valhalla, I ...

    Play [Riff 1] once, then:

    A5A5
     On we ...
    B5B5
     with ...
    C5C5
     our only goal will ....


    Then repeat everything all over again, this time with different
lyrics after "We come from the land of the ice and snow...." part:

    How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
    of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords...


    After the last C5C5 part:

    Play [Riff 1] 3 times with the lyrics:

    So now you'd better stop - and rebuild all your ruins,
    for peace and trust can win the day despite all your losing.

    As you hear the word "losing", replace the last part of [Riff 1]
with:
          C9C9
        e:-------------------|
        B:---3---------------|
        G:---3---------------|
        D:---2---------------|
        A:---3---------------|
        E:-------------------|

    Then play the outro:


Repeat this 3 times:

e:-------------------------------------------------------|
B:---------------------------------------------------3---|
G:o--------------------------------------------------3--o|
D:o-------4-------------4-------------4--------------2--o|
A:---------------------------------------------------3---|
E:-2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2------|

Repeat this 3 times:

e:--------------------------|-----------------------------|
B:-----------------------3--|------------------------3----|
G:o----------------------3--|------------------------3---o|
D:o-------4--------------2--|--------4---------------2---o|
A:-----------------------3--|------------------------3----|
E:-2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2-----|--2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2-------|

Then this last part:

e:--------------------------|----------------------------|
B:-----------------------3--|----------------------------|
G:-----------------------3--|----------------------------|
D:--------4--------------2--|--------4-------------------|
A:-----------------------3--|----------------------------|
E:-2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2-----|-2--2-2---2--2-2------------|
