A minorAm G+G DmDm A minorAm
Alduin's wings, they did darken the sky.
A minorAm G+G DmDm A minorAm
His roar fury's fire, and his scales sharpened scythes.
A minorAm G+G DmDm A minorAm
Men ran and they cowered, and they fought and they died.
C majorC DmDm A minorAm G+G
They burned and they bled as they issued their cries.
A minorAm G+G DmDm A minorAm
We need saviors to free us from Alduin's rage.
A minorAm G+G DmDm A minorAm
Heroes on the field of this new war to wage.
A minorAm G+G DmDm A minorAm
And if Alduin wins, man is gone from this world.
C majorC DmDm A minorAm G+G
Lost in the shadow of the black wings unfurled.
C majorC G+G FF
But then came the Tongues on that terrible day.
C majorC G+G FF A minorAm
Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray.
C majorC G+G FF A minorAm
And all heard the music of Alduin's doom.
C majorC DmDm G+G D MajorD
The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um.
FF G+G A minorAm
And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage.
FF G+G A minorAm C majorC
Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new Age.
FF G+G A minorAm D MajorD
If Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done.
FF A minorAm G+G A minorAm
