    DmDm          C majorC
Three kings rode out on the road to
G minorGm
 hell
   DmDm         C majorC
And ravens rode on the gale
   DmDm           C majorC  G minorGm
The night wind rang like an iron bell
    DmDm    C majorC    G minorGm
And hissed with sleet and hail
     Eb MajorEb           DmDm
Three kings rode out where the night
    G minorGm
wind runs

 Eb MajorEb          G minorGm F# minorF#m
Out onto death's highway
   G minorGm     FF       G minorGm
The king of the Britons, the king of
   Eb MajorEb     G minorGm  DmDm  G minorGm
the Huns, the king of Norway
    DmDm           C majorC
The king of the Britons was crowned
    G minorGm    DmDm       C majorC
with gold and rode a stallion white
     DmDm       C majorC
Saying, "All men go when they are
 G minorGm    DmDm  C majorC    G minorGm
told, but I go not in fright
  DmDm       C majorC    G minorGm
A augmentedA godly king who loved his folk and
  Eb MajorEb         G minorGm F# minorF#m
guarded them with his rod
   G minorGm     FF
And fire and gallows against
G minorGm   Eb MajorEb     G minorGm  DmDm  G minorGm
themselves, will surely go to God"
   DmDm          C majorC
The king of the Huns was crowned with
 G minorGm     DmDm       C majorC
steel and rode a stallion red
      DmDm           C majorC
Saying, "Proud must my father's spirit
 G minorGm   DmDm     C majorC    G minorGm
feel of me who crowned my head
  DmDm       C majorC    G minorGm
Halfway across a world in pain, which
  Eb MajorEb      G minorGm F# minorF#m
mightily I did win
  G minorGm    FF     G minorGm    DmDm
So now I go home to my fathers fane,
   G minorGm     DmDm  G minorGm
and not to the evil Djinn"
   DmDm         C majorC
The king of Norway was crowned with
 G minorGm    DmDm       C majorC
wings and rode a stallion gray
     DmDm       C majorC
Saying, "High and lustily my heart
 G minorGm     DmDm     C majorC  G minorGm
sings, for Odin guests me today
  DmDm      C majorC     G minorGm
I died in bed, aye, but I hung full
 Eb MajorEb        G minorGm F# minorF#m
many a screaming thrall
   G minorGm  FF      G minorGm    DmDm
On Odin's tree, with runes on tongue,
  G minorGm   DmDm   G minorGm
so now I go to his hall"
  DmDm            C majorC
Three kings rode out on the road to
G minorGm
hell
     DmDm       C majorC
And the bloody-breasted hound
 DmDm             C majorC  G minorGm
Bayed where the darkening waters fell
DmDm  C majorC      G minorGm
icy beneath the ground
Eb MajorEb         DmDm    G minorGm
Three kings a final judgment won
     Eb MajorEb          G minorGm F# minorF#m
From the High Gods' lips that day
   G minorGm       FF
The Devil took the Briton
   G minorGm       DmDm
The Djinn took the Hun
   G minorGm   DmDm G minorGm
And Hela took Norway
